Okay, I have to mention a little bit about the decorations since I spent so much time planning and working on them. We had tons of green streamers and leaves hanging from the ceiling in the front room along with animal print balloons and a shimmery waterfall along one side with stuffed animals hanging and spread out all throughout the room. Then as you walked through the hallway to the kitchen, we had vines w/leaves strung from the ceiling. In the kitchen there were beetle wings (chips), the "watering hole", worms, fish (swedish), and frog eye salad to eat along with pizza and an Crocodile cake for dessert! There were also signs posted throughout the house to show people where the "latrines" were, tell them to "Beware of Lions", "Don't Feed the Animals!" and "Danger-Enter at Your Own Risk" for the rooms I didn't want everyone going in. We had animal themed games for the adults and the kids and all the kids got their own "Survival Kit" as they left, complete with binoculars, a jungle animal beach ball, jumping frogs, some of those "grown your own animals" capsules and plenty of candy.
Thank you so much to everyone who came and made it a memorable experience for us! And since I was busy running things, THANK YOU also to everyone-especially Jason, Becky and Debbie-for these pictures that you took!
