Owen E. also turned 5 this week and his birthday party was Saturday evening. Thankfully the rain stayed in the clouds for a couple of hours and left just enough time to turn his front yard into a petting farm! There were pigs, rabbits, a sheep, goat, alpaca, cow, and the highlight of the party a pony to ride! I have to admit that seeing the kids ride the pony made me want to go home and ride my horses… but since Nebraska is much too far away I stayed to capture the excitement and joy of these children interacting with the farm animals and riding the pony. :) Some of the kids had never ridden a horse, so seeing their enthusiasm, excitement and hearing them giggle and laugh proved the party was loved by all. A special thank you to The Little Red Barn for creating a farmyard in the front yard. :)
Owen had a great time and I know all his friends did too!
Owen “mounting” up…
She had so much fun brushing the animals :)
It was so neat to see how this little girls expressions and emotions changed once she got on the pony…
He went to being a little frightened and unsure to absolutely LOVING it!!
I found this in Owen’s front yard!
Meet Owen E. the Birthday Boy! He was fascinated with the rooster but was very gentle and careful interacting with him.
It’s not everyday you have a goat in your yard in the city…
Taking a very close look at the sheep…
Some of us choose to stuff it all in!
