We had a very busy day today. We started off the day by getting up early and dressing up in our Halloween costumes. Then we were off to the Monster Dash 5k. Sophia had a great time trick-or-treating as we went and looking at all of the people and dogs in costume. We ran the race with our friends Matt and Renee. We all dressed in 80s workout gear. It was quite a pretty sight!
After finishing the race, we all hung out and had some snacks. Sophia was thrilled to have a banana. By the way, she was a bee if you can't tell.
Then we headed home after having our post-race banana. On the way home, we stopped at the lake quickly to take some pictures.

Sophia was hungry when we got home as it was past her lunch time. So we had some lunch and played toys for a bit. Then we headed over to HOM furniture in search of a sectional for our family room. We found a couple of things we like. We will need to go back to Macys and Slumberland as we found some at both that we liked too. We made a quick pit stop at the storage unti before heading home for Sophia to take her big girl nap.
She was super tired when she went down. She didn't get too much of a nap, as we had to get up and have a snack before getting ready for the Zoo Boo at Como Zoo. She got all dressed up in her costume and we headed out. It was the cutest event ever. There were just tons of people. I couldn't believe it. The zoo was set up with all different stations and people dressed up to go along with the stations. There were several places to take pictures and she got to trick-or-treat too. I told her she was lucky she got to go twice in one day and before Halloween too!

We didn't get home until almost 8 tonight. Then Sophia had her books, milk, and it was off to bed. Hal and I had our leftover pizza from last night for dinner and watched the Gophers Hockey game. I'm off to bed now as I'm getting up early to meet my sister-in-law to go running.
Tomorrow Sophia and I are going to do some shopping with Nana. I'm quite excited about that. You know how the girls love to shop!
