Harrison's Birthday Bug Safari! 11/16/13

 Harrison celebrated his 5th birthday a little early yesterday with a 'Birthday Bug Safari Party' at our house. He had eleven preschool friends over to check out all kinds of LIVE bugs that the Butterfly Pavilion brought over to share with the kids. They got to pet giant cockroaches, hold a tarantula, touch a hermit crab and learn about lots of other bugs. We had lunch, cupcakes, cookies and lots of fun!

Harrison and Declan helped me make the chocolate cupcakes and bug cookies for the party.

 Party favors included bug jars (filled with bugs, candy and a magnifying glass), a bug maze book, and an insect or butterfly sticker book.


We had just enough space to set up a special kids' birthday table; and you can't have a bug party without lots of gummy worms!


 Nathan was our 'bug guy' for the party and did a great job teaching and entertaining the kids...and the adults!






 This is 'Rosie', the tarantula, climbing onto Harrison's hand. 


 Time for cupcakes!


A special birthday wish. 
Happy Birthday!!
