In
total we had 18 kiddos under 4 (plus
all their parents) come to play! Believe it or not, even with all the little
ones it wasn’t too stressful and I managed to squeeze in a bit of mingling and
lots of photo snappin’.
(I did
miss 1 photo that I meant to take.. I really wanted to do a group shot of all
the tots…but I totally spaced : / )
The Barnyard Theme was a HIT!
(My E
only screamed for 10 minutes when I made him put on these CUTE farmer overalls.
I had a plaid shirt as well .. but there was no way he was letting me get that
on him too...)

The Petting Zoo was AMAZING!
I
can’t stop raving about Little Tracks TRAVELLING petting zoo
Not
only did they show up on time and
have everything set up before anyone showed up (my kind of peeps!), they
provided an educational spin on things for the kids (& adults) when we were in the petting zoo pen.
I
really wish I had snapped more pics of the animals, now that I think about it!
Yes –
I got in there too (although there are not any pics ..sigh.. isn't that
always the way!)
But I
did handle a duck, I petted a pig, I rubbed a donkey and I caressed a horse.

| The Cavie & his handler...It's a Rabbit/Kangaroo - weird |
 |
| Awww! Baby ducks! |
 |
| This picture just doesn't do justice for this ADORABLE goat! I want one! |
Pure
joy!
Some
of the best parts of the day
- My rain dance paid off - the weather was absolutely PERFECT – couldn’t have asked for better in May!
- My lil man & his buddies had a blast!
- There was little clean up (as it was ALL outside and we served snack food.. although I wished I had made a few dozen of my chocolate chip cookies, rather than bought.. but, whatcha gonna do?)
- It was an AM party (930-1130am) – so everyone was gone by noon!
- E had a 3hr nap after the party! whoohoo
- We collected 40 pairs of shoes for the Little Footprints, Big Steps charity (in lieu of gifts)!!

What an awesome party!! Made some great memories for your little guy for sure :)
Hi! New follower from the life with twins blog hop! What a fun party! I love the theme.. and how nice to collect shoes instead of gifts. Very sweet :)
Would love for you to link this up at my friday link party going on now! And a follow back if you like my site too :)
See? And you were all concerned about space. I would have thought you had a huge yard from those pictures! You had room for everything with space to spare. What a great party - and he looks absolutely adorable in those overalls by the way. Love the loot bags, I am nowhere near that creative.
Looks like a great party (you got some great shots!). I love the loot bags.
Thanks for the follow, following back :-)
