More of Max's Birthday

Maddie and Max are anxiously awaiting the arrival of friends for Max's birthday party on February 16th.
Max is unaware that Samantha's Amazing Animals is bringing 10 different live animals to the house to surprise him!


All the kids were so excited and curious when the cages were brought in.



The handler gave Max a safari hat and told him he would be the helper at the party. Here she is showing him the cute little Hedgehog.




One of our favorite animals, the Fennec Fox.






Here is the 8-Banded Armadillo.

The (sort of) skateboarding Ferret.

.........................King of the Wild Things!.........................




Cute little Chinchilla.

I can't remember what kind of bird this was, but the kids got to hypnotize it.

This chocolate colored Raccoon was cute. Max was excited to feed it some Fruit Loops.

Yes, I hired a celebrity for the party. This Coatamundi is famous. He has been on Pet Stars.

Max's favorite, Kiki the Kinkajou, also known as a Honey Bear. He got to feed it and he was very proud of himself. Until it licked him. Then it was all over!

Max's party was a success. His friends stayed to play a little and eat lunch after the show.






Making a wish on the lion cupcakes!

Max decided that because he was able to celebrate his birthday on Saturday too, that it must mean that he is another year older. He now thinks he is 5. He tells everyone, and says he can go to Kindergarten next year now. Hmmm....
