Ian's Critterman Birthday Party!


Finally! I have pics from Ian's 5th birthday party! We had such a BLAST! As you all know, Ian is totally into bugs and animals of all kinds. He has really been wanting to have the Critterman come and do a party for him. So for his 5th birthday we invited the Critterman himself to our home to entertain us and all his friends. We invited his entire class from school and almost everyone came. We had 18 kiddies and parents in our living room floor to watch the show. The Critterman arrived and introduced us all to his friends. He was so Great with all the kids. Very informative and kid friendly. I think the adults even enjoyed learning about the animals.
Without further ado, I present to you Ian's 5th birthday party featuring the CRITTERMAN!!

The Critterman's show took place right in our living room! We had the kiddies sit on the floor with the adults standing up behind watching his every move.


Everyone was in Ahh of the Critterman Dave! He allowed each child that wanted an opportunity to touch every animal...except for the tarantula of course!
Here Cash is cautiously touching the first animal of the show, a legless lizard! That's right, there is a difference between a legless lizard and a snake...who knew?



"Please do not let that tarantula jump off your hand!"

This creature as GROSS as it may seem was really quite beautiful and intriguing!

Actually, this is what Ian thought about the tarantula! EEK!!


A Blue Tongued Skink! "What's that?"

London gettin' some lovin' from Ms. Mailea! (we miss you girl!)


The hedgehog was by far the cutest animal he brought!!

I still can't BELIEVE I let a stranger in my living room with a 10 foot Burmese Python!!! OMG!!! Ian loved every minute of it!!!


We ended the party with cake, ice cream and gift opening! Dave has been doing educational animal shows for many years. He has several "safaris" to choose from. He really focuses on educating you about the various animals and stresses conservation and the special role each animal plays on this earth. You are sure to be thoroughly entertained and educated anytime Dave the Critterman is around.
