As I've mentioned before, Chester the Clown is a staple at Piedmont functions. So it only seems appropriate that the end-of-the-summer-reading-program-party be held at Chester's Party Barn.
The boys had a blast! They loved petting and feeding the little goats. I was actually really surprised that William was so willing to go up to the animals--usually he's so hesitant about stuff like that. James, of course, had no reservations whatsoever. In fact, I was more concerned for the goat's safety than for James'. 
William continued to amaze me when he wanted to go on a pony ride and then didn't cry out of fear at all. (And it was great for me too... because it was free. Being the cheap-o that I am, I'd rarely, if ever, pay for a pony ride.)
Next, we were treated to a relaxing hay ride.
Luckily for William and his fear of clowns, it was so hot (as Oklahoma summer's tend to be) that Chester decided to forgo the clown costume. He did still put on a magic show for the kiddos though.

Yea for Chester's Party Barn! Yea for the Piedmont Library! Yea for a wonderful way to spend a Saturday as a family!
Sounds like a fun party. I'm glad William enjoyed the pony ride. Olivia had a magic show at her summer reading party on Saturday too.

ReplyDeleteWhat fun!! For some reason Jacob won't go on horses or ponies. I'll have to show him the picture of William. It looks like your boys had a great time.
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun! I used to LOVE pony rides when I was little! What could be better than a pony ride for a kid who loves horses though?
