Celebration Saturday

Saturday was super busy, but a great day!  We spent most of the day out in Angleton, watching Coby's baseball game and celebrating Lance's 1st birthday and Seth's 10th birthday.

Seth's birthday party was pretty cool; it was at Crocodile Encounter in Angleton.  You started off in a room where they had snakes on display.  I am NOT a snake person!!


After the snake room the guide took us outside to look at a couple pins that house crocodiles and alligators.  Then we went over to an area where they have 16 huge tortoises.  We were able to roam around, touch their shells and feed them . . . it was pretty cool.  Both Allyson and Jase enjoyed this.  I was surprised that Ally was not all that scared of them (except when one of them started walking fast towards her LOL), and Jase was a little more timid, but he loved them just the same.


Next, we saw the alligators, which have a rounded snout.  Here is a pic of one . . . up close and personal!


Then it was onto the crocodiles.  We were able to watch the guide feed some of the crocodiles and that was pretty cool.  He fed them part of a chicken and they just gobbled it up like it was nothing.  Below is a picture of a crocodile while he was getting fed; he just jumped up on the fence!!


And here is a video of a feeding in action!! I'm so glad I was on the other side of the fence!


What a neat birthday party, for the parents and kids!! Happy 10th birthday, Seth!

After that party, we headed back home to clean up for our best friend's Mom's 70th birthday party.  What a great time and celebration it was!  Happy birthday Ms. Carolyn!
