Cowboy roundup at Cameron's house

Our good friends Carrie and Casey have a son {Cameron} who is keaton's age and yesterday was his 4th birthday. She had dropped by earlier in the week to invite the boys to his party and they had been waiting all week long to go. I took Owen to my parents house who so generously watched him while the boys and I went to have some fun.
When we got there, it was swarming with kids. I bet there were about 30 kids there. It was a huge get together. They handed out these really cute cowboy hats and gift bags to all the kids. My boys loved the hats and thought of themselves as real cowboys. They had a pony, whose name was dollar, out in front. They put all the kids in different groups according to the color of their cowboys hats and had different game stations for all of them to rotate. It was pretty well planned out.
The boys were hesitant at first to ride him but when I promised I would walk right beside them, they had no objection to it. Andrew loved riding and so did Keaton.


Then they had roping the cows-


panning for gold {which were pennies, rattlesnakes, cows and horses}in the sand box.
Then there was a little dog that was in his little cage and Andrew just loved watching him jump up and down trying to lick his face. He thought that was pretty funny.


We had such a fun time. Now Keaton wants have a big birthday party like that. How can we live up to that. Thanks for inviting us Cameron and Happy Birthday!
