I usually do not bring my camera to birthday parties - I like to eat, enjoy myself, and chit-chat, not worry about focus, exposure, and my shutter speed!
But this past weekend - Michael was invited to a birthday party where it was necessary to bring my camera!
First, there was a cute little critter scavenger hunt. Here's a grumpy Michael with his little jar of insects:
The real hit of the show came with this lady:
She was incredible! She brought all sorts of reptiles for the kids to hold including turtles, iguanas, and SNAKES.
Michael looking at the iguana:
Michael's initial reaction when the iguana came out:
When she brought out the 2nd biggest snake she had, the kids went BALLISTIC! They all ran away to their parents screaming!! Eventually curiousity reigned king and they all went back for a closer look.Michael was not havin' any of the touchin' of the reptiles. He was happy to pet the turtles, but politely ran away and hid during the iguana and snakes. Can't say that I blame the guy!
He had so much fun at this birthday party! His friend's house is AWESOME. They have this amazing back yard with a little Amish built very fancy play house, a huge playset in the back, and lots of backyard toys with grass as far as the eye can see. Basically, what I always wanted and instead, I have a huge sloping backyard with a forest full of ticks.
She had lots of great food including a chick-fil-a tray of nuggets. DONE AND DONE!
Had to blog about it because it was seriously cool. We'll be doing this one year!
