Owen has been asking for the past year when his birthday was... no joke... literally a YEAR! I don't know who was more excited him, or me (so he'd stop asking). We wanted to do something fun and different like a Reptile guy - Lori wanted to do the same thing for Chase who was turning 4... what a great idea! Minus the 100 degree weather that day. I really think it was the hottest day all summer long. Here are the hosts... with the special guest!
The birthday boys were first to hold each animal and got to sit up by the Reptile Specialist... they thought it was pretty cool - we took a lot of video and got Owen kissing this snake!
All the kids were into it. They all wanted to take a turn holding the different creatures, here is Paige holding a baby tortoise (sp?)... I guess this thing grows SUPER huge - too bad because it would be an adorable pet.
I volunteered to hold something (thinking it would be the huge snake) - to my surprise it was this scorpion! Yes, it is poisonous. Yikes - I didn't like this one.
This toad looked fake it was so huge and so green. It's the second largest toad in the world and they feed it rats... SICK!
Owen loved each animal that came out - seriously he was in his element!
Lori and I thought it would be cute to make Snake cakes... it was so hot that by the time we went to serve them my eyes and face melted off of it - as you can see my scales were already falling off (and that was from frosting it the night before... it was seriously SOOO hot!).
Besides the heat (melted crayons, melted gummy worms and melting cakes) it was a SUPER fun party. I was surprised at how much ALL the kids were into it. I would definitely do it again!

I think it would kind of gross me out to eat a snake cake. Just the idea in my head of eating snakes.
BUT, it sure does look cute! You did such a great job. Are you a cake maker or something? Maybe I should hire you to do my kids cakes.
Bummer it was so hot.
Happy Birthday Owen!
Jess that cake is awesome. You are getting better and better every year. Maybe you'll open your own shop by Paige's Sweet Sixteen.
You big chicken! You have to post the picture of you freaking out holding the scorpion.
I call a vote. Say yay if you want to see the picture.
I was waiting to see that picture. I vote yes!!! Great party. I wish I could have done that for your brother. As a matter of fact, he would still love it today.
