Erick and Evan turn 4! aka coolest party ever!

I actually really like throwing my kids birthday parties but the twins birthday is so close to Christmas that I go crazy trying to get everything done. The twins were having their first friend party this year so I wanted to make sure it was good so I booked a show with Scales and Tails. And it was seriously the coolest and easiest party I have done.
We started out by coloring wood snakes which I got from oriental trading (love that place).
Then we moved on to the live reptiles.
Our reptile guy Shane
One of the very excited birthday boys




You should have seen how fast the kids moved when he set this guy on the ground.
The other birthday boys turn.


This turtle didn't stay out long. He kept pooping which the kids all thought was hilarious.

Evan and Henry (Isaac's friend Lance's son)
I think they were discussing the pooping turtle

This is Peaches, the very big python

He told the kids they could pet the bunny
Which was inside the snake
Bet you didn't know a snake could have claws.
Then it came to the touch and hold part of the show and most of the animals came back out for the kids to get to see more up close.




This little guy was pretty lovable I am trying to convince Isaac we need a new pet
Even Carlye liked him
If Isaac won't let me get a lizard I guess I could settle for a turtle, he was cute too








Shane kept warning us that "anything with teeth can bite" so not a smart idea to be grabbing near the face. Don't worry no one got bit.
I was surprised how strong this little snake felt. It wasn't scary until the snake decided to put his face right in mine with his tongue going. That freaked me out a little.
Tim paid Tyler a dollar to hold the snake
Even my mom was brave
Of course we had a snake birthday cake

And they even got Scales and Tails t shirts!


The kids and the adults had a lot of fun and learned a lot! The twins said they want to do this again for their birthday next year and I am all for it.
Thanks to Scales and Tails, you were awesome! And thanks Carlye for the pictures, like usual they were great.
