Jackson's Safari Party

Jackson has an obsession for animals so we decided the most perfect birthday party would be a safari party. Knowing that we would have a new baby right around the time of the party, it was definitely going to be less elaborate than some of his other parties. We brought in a zoo from Moapa called Roos and More and they were wonderful. Jackson chose to have a bird, monkey, lemur, kangaroo, snake, and armadillo. They put on a show for over an hour. Some of the kids lost interest pretty quick as the zoo keeper let each child hold and take pictures with each animal, but Jackson loved it ( that's what's important). We had lunch, did cake, and that was the party. We had a great day with family and friends. Nana Sylvia was here from Boston, Grandma Cheryl and Aunt Lynda drove over from California, and Auntie Inga flew in from California for a quick trip.

Our attempt at a family picture. I hired a photographer for this party, so I know Sarah got a much better shot. Can't wait to see her work!

We did a popcorn bar this year instead of candy. It was so fun and Inga and I had the best time sampling all the flavors at "The Popcorn Girl."

Once again, Carrie made our cake and it is my new favorite! It was exactly how I wanted it and of course it tasted amazing!
