Ely dressed up as Bob the Builder and we met up with our friends at Woodland Park Zoo. It wasn't raining and absolutely beautiful outside. Lots of kids (even some parents) showed up dressed in costumes. Ely was excited to see the animals.
We had lots of fun checking out the zoo with his buddies.
Ely thought he was being clever when he snuck under a barrier to see the meerkets upclose. He knew he was up to no good because he made a silly face and was very mad when daddy made him come back out. He also liked to stop at every puddle and do a little splish-splash before moving on.
After a nap and dropping off Toby and Charlie at Dora's, we headed over to the Bellevue Square Mall. The mall was packed with kids everywhere. Ely quickly figured out that people were giving out candy and eagerly ate it as soon as he got it. Ely learned that inside the plastic packages are yummy treats. He had m&ms for the first time at a friend's b-day party the daybefore and it has kicked his sweet tooth into full gear. He ate a kitkat & 2 dumdums. It was a good way to figure out what we could use to bribe him during our long airplane flight coming up very soon.
We had dinner with our friends and even our friend baby Jacob came to join us for dinner. Ely was happy to see Jacob and managed to behave (somewhat) considering that it was way past his bedtime.
It was a very long day. Ely had a ton of sugary treats (including a big scoop of chocolate cake at dinner time) but he fell asleep in the car.
