The Festivities
PONY RIDES
I've always wanted to have pony rides for one of my kids birthday parties so that is what we did!
Big Bob and Old Joe couldn't wait to give the kiddos some rides.
Can't you just see their excitement?
FACE PAINTING
Cousin Isabel brought her face painting skills to the party!
She was amazing!
I loved the account of the tractor ride my cousin Cynthia put on her blog so I'm going to cut and paste it here. It made me laugh!!
In Cynthia's words:
"Everyone should have a party in Uncle Dale's backyard!
He brings out the horses for rides
and his backyard has
a trampoline
a swingset
and treehouse!
But one of the best things of all is the TRACTOR RIDE!
Let me try to describe the scene to you:
We are all sitting around, enjoying each other's company, eating good food, and the children are having a great time playing and riding horses.
Suddenly you hear a motor.
Everyone looks to see Uncle Dale driving the tractor which pulls the apple boxes through his orchard.
Then it's like a scence from the Pied Piper.
The kids all stop what they are doing.
They know exactly what to do.
They grab a lawn chair.
(It's hillarious, watching the littlest kids carry lawn chairs)
They hoist the chairs into the boxes,
climb in themselves
and wait for Uncle Dale to pull out of the "station" for a ride around the orchard:
My dad is the best grandpa! He always knows how to make thing so fun for the kids and the adults enjoy it too! Someday I'll have to blog about the school bus rides we used to go on with him.
Happy Birthday Josie and Crew!

Everyone really SHOULD have a party in your Parent's backyard! The tractor ride was so fun and the evening weather was perfect.
We just went on another tractor ride while Evan was here. Even Glenn and Kathy went on this time.

This is a picture I downloaded, sharpened and put on display life size in my bedroom in one of my large digital picture displays. https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhktLPt-8d4iOjhP2Sk7gx-IRQ38_3bOCYwcfLTRFF0_VsZkgdYMDxVsohrxflbfzLVvg122ZB-VkRrD0MTWypwvr5oqwlU_SofFmzJepNvcx1-h9kdQxElOKOOkKTQFewPRrdGUQ-etk8Z/s0/DSCN4785.JPG I love the picture because she literally appears to be directly in front of me when I am looking at her and that is really cool because I love leaning close and kissing her! The display is warm and silky smooth so it seems like I am really kissing her and that is like really frickin' cool and a lot of fun!
