The past few years my mom has enjoyed throwing herself a birthday party for all the grandkids to enjoy. Once, she rented a pony. Another year we had a squirt gun fight and watermelon. This year she treated us to a taste of the Old West at This Is The Place Heritage Park. It was lots of fun for the kiddos with pony rides, a whole playhouse village, a shootout and yummy lunch. Here are some photos. It was a very fun day. Happy Birthday Mom!
This is the place!

Grace loved washing clothes. Apparently I really need to invest in a washboard. Good-bye Maytag, hello Grace Power!

I've never been there. It looks like there is plenty to do for the kiddos and loads of fun. Cute pictures!

Happy Birthday Diane! :)
ReplyDeleteLoved the photos. Natalie and her family went a few days ago and took Alexandra. No photos since her camera battery died. So it was especially fun seeing your pictures so I could imagine the activities they did.
Glad you had a fun time!! :)
What a great idea! Fun times.
