Doesn't she look like she needs a "Vote For Pedro" tshirt! This picture cracks me up!
Wigs for everyone!
We were so relieved that the kids didn't catch anything. Unfortunately they did not share our relief. Of the 200ish kids who participated, our 3 were the only ones crying after the event. We're such city slickers. Ironically, one boy caught and won TWO chickens and his parents were trying to give them away after the chase. There were no takers!
One other fun surprise of the weekend is that my sister and her hubby ended up being in AZ over the weekend. They flew down from WA to buy their daughter a car and drive it home. Here they are with the cutie cute car! It was fun to spend a bit of time together with them.
Later that morning we headed to my dad's hometown of Taylor, AZ. They were having their annual Sweet Corn Festival so we went to enjoy the party. First up was a parade where my kids RAKED in the candy through the course of the tiny parade (the single wide trailer as a back drop is especially attractive here):
Parade Baby!
After the parade we were able to participate in the kids rodeo. They had games and relays set up for the kids to participate in. During/after the tug 'o war:
The highlight of the morning was the chicken/rabbit chase game. They saved this for the very end and my kids were so excited to participate. The older kids were separated and allowed to chase and catch chickens and the little kids had a similar activity but they chased and caught bunnies. The winners got to keep the animal they caught (worst prize ever in my opinion). Carter got VERY close to catching a chicken:

The kids had a turn in the bounce house, we did a bit of shopping and then called it a day. It was super fun! Back at the ranch, the kids took a LONG ATV ride with Allen, we built a campfire and had a good time hanging out.
That evening we were able to attend the 50th anniversary celebration. It was fun to see so much extended family that I hadn't seen in years. My cousins did a great job planning the party and I took plenty of notes since we will be hosting a 50th anniversary party for my parents in 3 years.
My dad with all of his siblings/spouses (minus one couple who is serving a mission):

We had a great weekend and headed home on Sunday afternoon to get ready for another busy week!

This is going to seem super random, but I found your blog while I was googling a pinkalicious party. I saw your ideas and they are great. Im planning a party myself. I also saw that you had printable coloring pages. I looked and they don't have those any more. I'm wondering if you have those saved on your computer and wouldn't mind emailing them to me.

You really are always on an adventure, I can't get over how seamless you make it look to pack up and go!
The wig pictures are hilarious. And cute Emery seriously looks like a baby doll. When I first saw that picture of her in the wig, I really did think she was a doll! She is so gorgeous!
