Our friend Luca just turned 3, and we helped him celebrate this past Saturday. He passed on your typical birthday themes, and opted for skunks. Sadly, skunk licenses are pricey (who knew?), so no skunks were on the guest list, but he did invite a few other animal friends to join us. The kids were able to meet them up close and personal, as demonstrated by Will, his friend Lily and two chinchillas.Ellie deserves a gold star for participation. She pet a hedgehog...
Held a sweet new bunny...
And kissed a frog.
OK, just kidding. She just held the frog. I think Will was worried Elle would make like Princess Tianna and give the frog a smooch.Luca tried on a pair of angel wings, courtesy of the beautiful blue and gold parrot hiding behind him. ;)
The kids left Ellie's pink feathered boa at home, and instead opted for a pygmy python.
None of us was able to touch the barn owl, but it still put on a show, silently flying across the room, right into its carrier.Meeting a skunk would have been an... adventure. But we're happy Luca was able to share his special guests instead! Thanks, DiCosolas, and happy birthday, Luca!
(Please pardon the photo quality, or lack thereof—we forgot our camera, and thus relied solely on camera phones in dim light. Better than nothing, though!)

First of all, I can't believe they touched that snake!! Our neighbor had a fox snake growing up and the father would make me hold it one time per year and I hated it. In fact, I skip the reptile house at the zoo on school field trips.
Where did they find the person with these animals? I am trying to have an Earth Day assembly and it has live animals.. I'm psyched!!
Oh dear. Props to the kiddos for letting those chinchillas near them. Shudder. But what a cool birthday theme!
