On Sunday we celebrated William's 3rd Birthday with a Wild Animal themed party.  The highlight of the day was a presentation from Gecko's Wildlife.  We had two snakes, a crocodile, three lizards, a frog, a tawny frog mouthed owl, two turtles and a squirrel glider in our house.  The kids were absolutely mesmerised for an entire hour.
We also hired a jumping castle which has become a staple at our birthday parties.  The pool was also a hit.

  4. Thanks Anna, Judy and Michelle.
    Michelle - I hired a wildlife company to do the talk. They are called Geckos Wildlife.
    Thanks for stopping by everyone.

  6. Wow what a great party. We just celebrated our daughters 2nd birthday (also posted on Party Perfect), but being a January baby in London it is a little hard to have it by the pool. However my parents live in Kingscliff just south of Tweed Heads which is where she will be when she turns 3 and we plan to use the pool and have a jumping castle. I only hope it is as fun as your son's party looks. Maraka
