What is the only thing that would make a 5 year old boy smile like this? If his mom allowed snakes at his house for his 5th birthday, that's what! Jacob wanted a "Crocodile Hunter" themed birthday party this year and somehow we pulled it off. To Jacob's dismay, I did not want could not find someone to bring an actual crocodile. Luckily, Steve the Crocodile Hunter also digs snakes and wouldn't you know, there was actually someone out there who had one to bring!! We had an awesome time. Ms. Joanne from the NC Herpetological Society (who knew there was such a thing!) was so kind to come and teach the kids about some of the reptiles around NC. She brought with her a corn snake and a box turtle and the kids had a blast with it! We also did a relay race and of course had plenty of "snake cake" . The weather was beautiful and the reptiles were awesome. Happy Birthday Jacob!!! You are so loved and we are so proud of the sweet little boy that you are!!!
