Veda Birthday Party #1

Veda celebrated (2) birthday parties this year.  Because we decided to do a joint neighborhood party with Ethan (our good friend Rick & Christine Holmes' son), we let Veda do a small party with friends from her class.  After a long summer apart, many friends were happy to reunite just a few days before the start of second grade.  Veda wanted a reptile party, so we invited Cool Critters over with their pack of animals.  The favorites were the boa constrictor and the giant tortoise, which was the unwilling (and ironic) participant in a game of leap frog.
