Wildpark Poing and Halloween

Wildpark Poing is a Nature Center kind of place where you can get up close and personal with a variety of animals.  Not a zoo or a wild habitat, but a combination of the two.  We saw deer, geese, leopards, bison, bear, birds of prey, and so forth.  Hayne got some great shots:

 There had been a frost the night before:

 You are encouraged to feed some of the animals:


 Taking it all in:
 The Trifecta: Caroline, Grace (look how skinny those legs are!) and Lena:


 Goofy kid:

 Snowy owl:
 Bald eagle:
 During the bird show, several in the audience got buzzed by various birds:
 Mr. Wiggles didn't like being trapped in his stroller for the bird show:





Charming look after getting caught chewing on the table:
 Finally getting the hang of the bottle:
 Saturday morning darlings:


We were invited to the Spielvogel's for a Halloween party.  I mistakenly believed the myth that Germans don't really know what Halloween is all about.  I was so wrong.  They did this up right!  (And OH, the chili Inge made was incredible!!)

 Notice that C doesn't have a costume on?  Yeah.  But G was happy to be Schlümfina (aka Smurfette)
 Alex is a master at pumpkin carving:
 View of their house, although this pic doesn't quite do it justice...
E, um I mean Tigger, finally figured out how to use both legs when doing his army crawl.  And he's into EVERYTHING now.  Beware.
