Samantha's Bday Party

The same day that we had everyone over to meet Braiden, Mia also had Samantha's birthday party at Petland.  This had to be the coolest bday party ever and we are seriously considering doing the kids' bday party there this summer.  Also, kudos to Andy and Shannon for having 20 little girls there-wow!  It started with the kids getting tour of all the aquatic animals/tanks, even getting to touch some of the creatures.

And brave enough to touch it

Wasn't so sure about the frog that Sarah was brave enough to hold, but she did end up touching it

We then went to the party room where Sam blew out her candles and the kids enjoyed some yummy treats.

And then the BEST part-Sam got to pick out the animals she wanted to have brought out and the kids got to sit in a circle and hold/pet them.  As a kid, my dad and I used to go to Petland and take out the different puppies, even though we knew we wouldn't be bringing any home (allergies in the fam).  This totally reminded me of that.  The kids were sooooo excited and the animals were very good with them.

I love how happy she looks here

There were tons of squeals when he walked in!

They even got to hold a bird

This one cracks me up!!!

It really was a great party-thanks to Sammy for inviting Mia!  Maybe we will be seeing you there again sometime in July/August! :)
