This weekend my roommates and I decided to make a trip to the Philadelphia Zoo before the end of the nicer weather. We arrived at the zoo around 11:30 and quickly noticed that we were the only ones not in costume. Unknown to us, it was the zoo’s annual Boo at the Zoo! event where children come to the zoo in their Halloween costumes and received treats at different places throughout the zoo.

Philadelphia, PA
I don’t know what it was about the day, but all of the animals seemed extremely social. The tigers came right up against the glass and the otters were full of life and brought laughter to all of the children watching. We spent almost an hour in the PECO primate reserve watching the gorillas.
After a long day at the zoo, we ordered a massive amount of food from Apollo pizza in downtown Glenside and watched our new guilty pleasure, Law & Order SVU until getting ready for Arcadia’s annual Mr. Beaver contest.

For those of you who don’t know (or who haven’t read any of the previous blogs), Mr. Beaver is kind of like a drag show with a theme and random prizes for the audience and participants. But as an added bonus, this year it was hosted by Ross Matthews from Chelsea Lately. His humor added so much to the contest.
