We hit Boo At the Zoo last night and her costume was a BIG hit!!! And while LOTS of folks took pictures with her, my phone died and I didn't get a single one!!! :behave
We have a couple small costume contests we'll be hitting today and then there's a FanBoy Expo we'll be attending this afternoon. I'll DEFINITELY make sure my phone is charged for that!!!
Stay tuned for pictures!!!
