Hipp'o'Lantern

Opie modeled for me while I created my hipp'o'lantern masterpiece. He isn't sure googly eyes were the way to go, but you can never go wrong with googly eyes!

The Discovery of Pumpkin Pie

You mean pumpkins come in pie form and I'm only learning about this now?!

Trick or Treat?

When these guys knock on your door and ask "Trick or Treat?"which would you choose?







Now we know why Hippo eyed that Zoolights pumpkin so fondly.

Yummy

Happy pumpkin to you,
Happy pumpkin to you,
Happy pumpkin dear hippo!
Happy pumpkin to you.

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.
