Which Costume Do You Like Best?

November 1st, 2007 · 1 Comment

We had a Halloween costume contest in the Google office yesterday. About a third to a half of the people I work with dressed up. I didn’t dress up*, but was asked to be the office photographer. I took tons of photos of Halloween decorations, celebration, and costumes. Here are a few of my favorites. By the way, the Swedish Chef and SNL Pat tied for the best costume.

* As an adult, the only times I’ve dressed up on Halloween were in 2000 in San Diego and once in the Village Halloween Parade.

This was my first visit to Lincoln Park Zoo. I’d always wanted to go, but then would think, “But I want to take Jessica & Stephanie there, so I can’t go now!” So like even days when I was laid off and knew it was something fun that was free I didn’t go. Finally we all got a chance to go a few months ago. I didn’t have a chance to go through the photos til now. I thought that for a free zoo it was pretty good. I’ve paid to go to worse zoos. Honolulu, I’m talking to you! That one was under construction when we went, though, so maybe it’s better now.

Other zoos I’ve been to:

» Bronx Zoo (& Butterflies at the Bronx Zoo)
» Honolulu Zoo
» Milwaukee County Zoo (& Canada Geese Take Over Milwaukee County Zoo)
» San Diego Zoo
» San Diego Wild Animal Park

Stephanie & Rachelle, Milwaukee County Zoo, Milwaukee

The monkeys stand for honesty, giraffes are insincere,
And the elephants are kindly but they’re dumb.
Orangutans are skeptical of changes in their cages,
And the zookeeper is very fond of rum

Zebras are reactionaries, antelopes are missionaries,
Pigeons plot in secrecy and hamsters turn on frequently.
What a gas! You gotta come and see at the zoo

~ At the Zoo, Simon & Garfunkel

I love this song about the Central Park Zoo and was reminded of it Sunday morning when we went to the Milwaukee County Zoo. My brother’s family has a membership to the Zoological Society of Milwaukee so they go to the zoo as often as they can. I believe this is the first zoo I’ve been to since 2001. Back then I had a membership in the Zoological Society of San Diego and used to go to the San Diego Zoo & the Wild Animal Park often.
