Chase's 9th Birthday Party

Chase's 9th birthday party was last weekend and we had a blast. The Reptile Man came to the house with several different types of reptiles such as an alligator, hissing cockroach, scorpion, snakes, and a tranutula. The kids (and adults) got to hold and pet the reptiles and we had so much fun! I held every reptile! It was a great party. Here are some pictures:

Chase, Kierstin, Nathan, & Joe at the party.

Happy 9th Birthday, Chase!!!!
