There are wizards about at Ijams! 

This morning, birthday party coordinator Kodie Underwood organized a Harry Potter themed party at the nature center. She invited Professor Sprout to serve as hostess for the spirited fete to celebrate young wizard Charlie's ninth birthday.

The kids mixed magical potions and went outside to plant "enchanted" pumpkin seeds in the garden demonstration area. 

Birthday Evan found the largest bone!

And later in the day. 

Newly turned 5-year-old Evanwent on a Dino Dig with his guests but not before getting to release a spicebush swallowtail butterfly that had just emerged from its chrysalis. Evan's friends and family got to watch its first flight.

Wow! Now how cool is that?
