The "Wild Kratts" is Ian's favorite cartoon (a fun, educational show about wildlife) so we planned a wild animal party at our local Wildlife Sanctuary!
We made "creature power discs" (from the show) that each child picked out of a bag when they arrived. Then they got to pick out the matching mask. Surprisingly most of the kids wore their masks the whole time!
I made "create your own habitat" jars filled with goodies like glow in the dark lizards, sticky frogs, magnifying glasses, animal stickers, jungle expedition Hotwheels vehicles & Teddy Grahams bear paws.
Getting ready for our scavenger hunt
Seriously...
Off we go...
What a great group of kids!
Of course I had a ton of fun making the cake... and as usual Ian got to design it. Beavers - check. Cheetah - check. Alligator - check. It was Ian's idea to have the Kratt brothers in water. This worked to my benefit b/c I didn't have to make their legs then!
Happy Birthday to our "boy wonder!"
We love you, Ian! As the years go by, and memories become snapshots, we're reminded that we learn more from you than you learn from us. Never lose that twinkle in your eyes, that contageous smile & that gigantic heart.
