He’s nine? How the heck did that happen?
First of all, I love this squirrel:
That little critter is the only mammal at the Nature Center that tries to escape through the roof of its cage. We start humming the Mission Impossible theme music whenever we see him.
Alex’s love of all things military continues, so even though he asked for a birthday party with lots of animals, he still got this cake:
He loved wearing the snake and was great with the tarantula:
More photos in the gallery, as usual.
Kat coerced three other Nature Center folks to help with the party (a task which is usually relegated to just Kat), so the kids got to see over a dozen animals, and everyone was able to touch and hold them. A few animals were brought out that have never been brought to a party or event before – Kat rocks.
Alex has had a pretty good year, with his trips to several Eastern states, a trip to ride nearly every roller coaster at Fiesta Texas, Schlitterbahn, lots of toys, games, and just a lucky time for the boy. Fortunately, he’s also a great kid. Every time I have other children his age over for dinner, I’m reminded again how well Alex’s mother and I have done in instilling a modicum of manners and not instilling a distrust of vegetables and “weird” food. He loves to try new things, and although I may want to strangle him some days, I’m very happy that he’s in my life. Happy Birthday, boy.
