Party Animals!

A couple of weekends ago, Jack had his first friend birthday party.  He was so excited about the party and has been planning it for the past 6 months.  It got to the point where the only conversations we would have (especially when he had me trapped in the car!) were about his birthday....who was coming...what kind of cake he wanted...what would be in the goodie bags.   You would think he would have gotten tired of having the same conversation over and over but it never seemed to get old with him.

We lucked out with the weather given it was the middle of November.  It was a beautiful day so we could have the party outside which meant I didn't have to have 17 kids + a variety of zoo animals in my house.  For the party, we had someone from Animal Adventures come out with a bunch of different animals.  He gave some fun facts about each animal and then let the kids touch each one.  It was super cute and the kids loved it.  However, Jack refused to touch any of the animals.  Hmmm...I guess a note for next time.  Don't plan to have animals at Jack's next party.

First up, Jaba the enormous frog.




This was as close as Jack would get to the animals.  He refused to touch the hedgehog but we were able to convince him to stand near it.
However, the rest of the kids loved touching the animals and the highlight of the day was having a chinchilla sit on their heads!



Next up...snakes!
And the mother of all snakes.  A 5 foot python.

And my least favorite animal of the day...the crocodile.

Cupcakes!
Sara LOVED the cupcakes.  This girl has a serious sweet tooth.


And sine I didn't get any pictures of Jack blowing out his candles, here are a couple from the family party the next day.
