Safari Party

Phew, March is a busy time for us.  On Matt's said of the family (immediate parents, siblings, spouses & kids) there are 4 birthdays.  There are also 3 birthdays in April...its busy.  So we are finally through the big birthday rush and I feel that for the next 20 seconds I can take a breath.  That is until I remember that we are moving to a new house in less than 2 weeks.  I obviously shouldn't be blogging, but we all need a break and distraction.

The girls birthdays are only 3 weeks apart, so for the time being (and as long as I can get away with it) I will be doing combined parties.  Our first attempt, Safari Adventure.  I didn't include a picture of the invitation, but it was adorable.  We made passports to send to each sibling group and included their pic just like a real passport.  We had the party at the zoo.  It was great only dampened by Reese getting sick.

I made lunch sacks for each sibling set.  Including "monkey chow" (dried banana chips), "zebra cakes", "goldfish", "Animal crackers" etc

Overall we had a great time.  Poor Reese had the Tummy bug going around so she only managed to go to the party part and skipped the zoo exploration.  The kids all had a fantastic time.  Thanks to everyone who made it possible.  The KC Zoo was fantastic to work with and I would totally recommend hosting a party there!
