Lucas celebrated his 6th birthday on Saturday. We rented the Active Club building so Lucas could invite his class and have a reptile safari! We hired Dr. Dave, a veterinarian, who does a reptile safari kids show. He was fantastic and the kids loved it! He was very hands on and all the kids got to see and touch whatever critter they wanted. Best of all, he made Lucas the star of the show!
