My boys got an invitation to their friend, Emma's, birthday party.
It was held at the Forest Park Nature Center.
When we got there Miles headed immediately for the creatures.
They had bugs! These are Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches.
There was also a tarantula.
And another creature that the naturalist got out to play...
A snake. (!)
After they learned all about it, the kids got in line to pet it.
And then she put it away.
Next up to get out of their cage were the cockroaches.
Everyone got to touch those too.
Each child also got something to take home. Thankfully, this one is fake!
The snake didn't know it though, and Miles tried to feed it to him.
The naturalist also took us on a hike.
We saw (among other things) five deer!
Then, back inside, Emma opened her gifts.
And the kids had a treat.
And sang and had cake. (rice krispy treats)
And somehow, Miles ended up back over by the creatures.
Shown here digging his fake bug out of his pocket to entice the snake.
We had a fun afternoon at Emma's party!
Thanks for having us, Emma!!
