This morning I took my daughter to Little Boo at the Toledo Zoo. This is our fourth year attending one of the Halloween celebrations at the Toledo Zoo. The zoo offers two Halloween celebrations, Little Boo for preschoolers on a Thursday and Friday, and Pumpkin Path for kids of all ages on Saturday and Sunday.
