This year for Jen's 6th birthday we had her party at the Sterling Heights Nature Center. I could not do one more Pump It Up party. This ended up being one of the best parties she had.
The party coordinator was great!! There were tons of activities we could pick for the party. Jen chose an animal demonstration, a game and a nature hike. The first part of the party the coordinator had all of the kids sit on a huge stuffed snake as she brought out toads, turtles and snakes for the kids. All of the kids were able to hold and play with the animals and they also learned a few new things about each of them.
My brave little girl stood right up when it was her turn to hold a snake. She was fine until it started to crawl up her back and into her shirt. I love the look on her face in this picture.
And Jimmy was just as happy to hold the snake. He laughed when it started to go between his legs. If you ask him if he held the snake, the first thing he says is "It went down there". Almost all of the kids held it and only Aunt Julie and Uncle Scott were the only adults who touched it.
I stressed over this cake for the month before. I wasn't sure how it would turn out, but in the end I was very happy with it. All of the animals were made out of fondant and the snakes were gummy animals I had found.
Jen blowing out her candles and making a wish which I am sure had something to do with taking some kind of animal home for a pet.
The last thing we did was go on a short nature hike looking at different leaves and trees. On the way we saw a mother deer and her two little babies only a short distance away. This party was so much fun and all of the kids really enjoyed doing something a little different.
