Happy Hippoween

It's almost Halloween, and everyone is decorating and dressing up.  This tree is dressed up in pretty pumpkin colors. 

Wow!  Look at this huge spiderweb!  I wonder who built it?

YIKES!

Not funny.  Next time, someone should tell me when there might be a giant hippo-eating spider looking over my shoulder.

Even the rose bushes are getting all dressed up for the big day, with a little help from "Mr. Legs." 

Now I just need to decide which costume I'm going to wear!

Happy Hippo Thanksgiving!

Over the river and through the woods to Grammy's house we go! (Well, we really just took the car, but we did have to drive over a creek and through some woods to get there)


Hippos love Thanksgiving--hippos love any holiday that is all about eating! Hippos are vegetarians, so we don't eat turkey. Personally, I think that it is all about the pumpkin pie! It was hard work choosing the perfect one to bake.



I like the biggest one.


I practiced my manners all day so I could be a good, polite hippo during dinner.



...And worked up a good appetite playing in the leaves.



By the time dinner was served, I was really hungry.



After a few helpings, I was stuffed!


But there is always room for leftovers.
