Today we went to the Zoo to celebrate Megan's 5th birthday. What a great party! The kids loved it......and for more reasons that it being at our favorite place around!
All of the kids got a great Safari hat and an animal mask to color. Pat was very intense during the whole process. He loved talking to the two guys who were running the party....being that Pat is an animal expert.
Elizabeth loved the coloring......but I think she loved sitting with all the older girls more.
Before lunch there was an animal demonstration. Here are all the party goers, at least the kids, posing with Cally......the California King Snake that Daniel, the most impressive 12 year old I have ever met, taught us all about.
After a zoo lunch of chicken nuggets and fries it was time for some Safari Bingo. I am surprised Pat didn't smuggle away any of the Bingo "chips". He was loving that they were different animal shapes.......although did have a bit of an OCD issue when he realized that the chips didn't correspond to the animal on the card that was being called. He got over it though.
Elizabeth was GREAT at SCREAMING BINGO! Must have been all the practice.
Cake time - there were two!! Ice cream and regular......regular with PINK frosting. Elizabeth loved it.
After cake it was time for a pinata.
I think everyone thought it was the kind that you pull the string instead of hit. However, I think it was the kind you hit, just with streamers. So, it never opened. No one really seemed to care......particularly when Uncle Will just broke it in half and spread the prizes out on the floor.
Elizabeth was a great helper and watcher during present time. She really was the only kid that hung in there for the whole time. Pat was long gone dragging Daddy and Uncle Rich around the zoo. After presents Liz and I caught up with them. It was a really fun party.
