The view from here...

SADDLE UP YOUR HORSES. It's Jesse's birthday and Julie has set the party in the late 1800s with a Western theme. See the party below (Julie's creativity is evidenced throughout the whole day...but this posting shows what Kevin and I witnessed after arriving at 7:00)

Julie made wanted posters...clearly, her bias shows in each poster.
Birthday bad boy:




Yah, Julie...whatever!




You'll notice, Kevin and Penni are wanted "DEAD or alive".



Who's this?


She looks a little proud of her crime


Julie set up a shooting range


The sign says: Saloon...No gun fighting allowed


The barmaid shooting Wanted posters.


The birthday cake Julie made from scratch


Draw your own conclusions.


Jesse after opening his Fisher Price Western Town for the 2nd time. (We've been storing this, among other childhood toys of his; rewrapped it for a regift). I think he looks a lot like my dad, Rex here. Especially in the eyes. Anyone else think so?


His gift from Kevin. (An old capgun key fob)


Having a fine supper out on the trail.


THIS is how to eat beans, western style.


Great grub, Julie.


And THIS would be MY cowboy. Yee-haw!
