There was NO ONE at the barn - not a soul.... not the person that was hosting the party..... No One, but a darn goat that kept jumping in the van every time I opened the doors!!! Goats are mean - just in case one ever jumps in your van - watch out! Back to No One there - I was totally panicked - I mean 8 little girls arriving for pony rides to find out that there were NO PONIES. Oh, we also drove over an hour to get there.
Luckily, I ran into a nice lady who was boarding a horse at the barn and she saved the day! She saddled up 2 ponies and her daughter and her daughter's friend took the kids for pony rides. Bella had a blast and she got closer than she ever dreamed to a real pony! She'll never remember her Mother's panic, but trust me, I will remind her of this many times over the upcoming years.As with anything, the kids were off to find something else to do after many trips around the barn on the ponies. I was totally unprepared since our host was nowhere to be found - what can we do to pass the time until cake???? Then we found the TURKEY! Oh joy - the kids had a blast mocking the poor bird... gobble gobble gobble followed my deep belly laughs!Little did I know that there were other things to ride at the farm. Look there was a fallback if the whole pony thing did not work out.There was also the swing on the old barnyard gate game.It all worked out in the end! Happy Birthday Bell!

Happy birthday Bella! It all starts with a pony ride, then it's $150 riding boots and a place on the equestrian team. There's no turning back after that.
Don't forget we have a barn on the property, but no fence. Daddy is claiming it as the man workshop, but her better hurry up!
