Christian the Lion

For Halloween Christian was "Christian the Lion." Not sure if you have heard this neat story about a lion reunited with his owners after a year in the wild...I included an abbreviated video from You Tube at the bottom. We went to a fall festival at a church just around the corner from our house with our friends, Ashley and her little girl Evalee (who is 2 weeks older than Christian.) We went "trunk or treating," went on a hayride, C rode a horse and loved it, and I attempted to get Christian's face painted, although he mostly wanted to "help." :)The lion's mane on Christian's costume was so huge, he had a hard time crawling when it was over his head; I think he just lost his equilibrium. After the initial shock of wearing this bulky costume, Christian calmed down and enjoyed the night and watching funny people all dressed up.
Hear me ROAR!!

I thought that it was cute that you chose a Lion costume for C. The clip that you did from the movie was heartwarming...it was a good movie, huh? Christian was cute for Halloween, glad you had a fun time :)

I love his costume - especially the mane, too cute! I can't blame him though for not loving being the one wearing that on his head :-)

Too cute! We were going to make Asher a Lion Tamer, and have Boots shaved to look like a lion, but we were out of town, so it didn't happen. That would have been funny to see both boys with a lion theme.

I love that lion clip! i had seen it before and think it s
