Jennifer, Thank you again for all your hard work Sunday. The party was great, and everyone was crazy about the petting zoo. All night Rachel was talking about the "black pig". That was her favorite, mine was Cletus. I liked the duck, too, AFLAC! Hope to see you at a party very soon.

You were so caring and patient with all the kids at the party. My other son now may be calling for the Reptiles to come to his party!!!

I have attached some photos that you are more than welcome to use on your site if you wish.
Take care and look forward to seeing you all again!

Jennifer...A big THANK YOU to you and all of your helpers at the birthday party yesterday! Everyone had a wonderful time, especially Lily and Luke. I appreciate how you all took the time to ask & remember each child's name, answer their questions and express interest in them, that means so much to children, and it didn't go unnoticed. We've received so many compliments on the party. Thanks again.

Dear Steve & Jennifer,
I just wanted to write you a quick note to thank you for making my son's 5th birthday so special. The "Reptile Encounter" was just perfect for his "Crocodile Hunter" Theme.
The parents raved at the quality of animals. Steve handles them with such pride and care it really shows - and he was excellent with the children as well.
I am attaching a few photos from our digital camera. I may send along a few more once I get the others developed.
Thanks again - I will not hesitate to recommend you in the future.
Sincerely,
Liz B.

Hey Jennifer,
I wanted to take a minute and Thank-you so much for your wonderful ponies. Maclaine was so excited about her pony party and you met every expectation she ever had. The ponies looked beautiful with their flowers and ribbons and you guys were so patient with the 16 four year olds. When I took her to preschool on Monday, her party was still the talk of the town. Thank you for helping us make wonderful memories with our daughter.
Thanks,

Hi Steve & Jennifer--
Thanks again for coming down to Sarasota last weekend. We're estimating 1200-1500 people turned out for the event -- your animals were a key component to the successful evening!

You were at Sarasota Christian Church on Sunday and I want to thank you for the kind attention you gave my daughter. She was in tears after learning she had ridden a pony instead of a horse (could have fooled me!) and you gave her an extra ride on a horse. She was thrilled. Thank you!

Hi,
This afternoon Jack and Jennifer paid a surprise visit (arranged by my husband) to my daughter Augustine's 6th birthday party. We want to say THANK YOU! Jennifer was simply awesome in how she helped all the kids and even remembered all the names! Wow, I cannot thank you enough. Thank you again for making the once in a lifetime party of my daughter and all of us Moms who always wanted a pony at our party when we were little girls.

Your animals were a big hit with the children at VBS, and added a huge element of fun to the week. Thanks for your flexibility and concern for details. Cool tortoise too! I'll call you about dates for the fall and Christmas.

I just wanted to send you all a note and say Thanks!!! My daughter, Ashley's party on Sat June 5, was wonderful. She had a great time along with everyone else. I got many compliments about how friendly and nice Steve, Meagan and the gentleman at the petting zoo (I'm sorry that I have forgotten his name).
I will definitely recommend you for other events.
Ashley loved Jack. He is a beautiful horse! She still talks about him.
Thanks again for a wonderful party.

Jennifer, Steve & Meagan,
Thanks so much for bringing your adorable animals to Kendall's 3rd birthday party. She loved them!! Kendall thoroughly enjoyed riding the pony, but she said that Cletus was her favorite animal there. You were all so nice to the kids and helped ensure that everyone had a great time. I will definitely recommend your business to my friends. Thanks for helping make Kendall's day so special.
Sincerely,
