Party pics

We had another reptile show for Nick's birthday party this year.  This time there was less talk about not using snakes to make purses and more about how frogs feel slimy like boogers...much better!  The kids were totally engaged (and most of the adults were too!) and Nick had a blast.  After the show we had pizza and cheese breadsticks from Papa Gino's (Nick's all time fave) and then a water balloon toss.  It took Ryan about 45 minutes to fill a bucket full of water balloons...and it took the kids about 5 minutes to pop them all!  Then on to what is becoming the traditional "giant chocolate chip cookie cake" - despite some murmurings about the squishy, half-cooked middle, there wasn't one bite left of the two pans that I made...(everyone loves a little raw cookie dough once in a while!)  Nick is a man of routine so I won't be surprised if I am making these "cakes" for him on his 18th birthday!!



Papa and Addison were the first to be brave with the slimy frog!





Needless to say, the snapping turtle did not get passed around!



This is about how close Chelsea got!


It's easier to blow out the candles when you aren't grinning!!!!



Slight overreaction by Mommy in this video!  Nick took it all in stride.
