UMOMC Fall Party at The Welcome Ranch Oct 11, 2008

On Saturday, October 11th, the Fall Party for the Upstate Mothers of Multiples Club was held at the Welcome Ranch in Wilamston, SC. Since the party was at 12:30, John stayed at home with Ansley and Bailey, while Emily and I headed to the party. When we arrived, there were some people there so we headed over to the picnic area to visit. The kids all played around while we waited for the rest of the group to arrive and for the riding portion of the party to begin. After playing with the other kids and it warming up some, Emily took a rest on a rock. It was just too cute =) Luckily, I brought her a short sleeve shirt so we went and changed her shirt real quick and before we knew it, it was time for the introduction to the riding portion of the party. All the kids were excited and after hearing the rules, they quickly files over to the riding ring and got in line. For her first turn, Emily was very excited and asked me to come with her. So we hopped up on the horse and had a great ride around the ring. She loved it so much, she was of course excited to get right back in line to take another turn. The next go around she was all by herself on another horse and thought it was absolutely fabulous!! When the ride was over, she even talked the head lady in to carying her back over to the end of the line. Pitiful, but too cute =)
After a couple more turns, Emily was ready for something to drink so we were walking over to the picnic area when we happen to see Julie, Scott, Kate, and Emily coming so we went over to say hi. The girls all wanted to play a little and then we headed back to the line for more riding. Before the riding portion of the party was over, Emily even rode Chocolate, the miniature horse. It was amazing how big she looked on him, compared to when she had ridden him at her 2nd birthday.

Of course it was hard to get all the kids to want to move on from the riding portion, but once we got all of them over to the picnic area, we started with pizza, snacks, and drinks. Although Emily had already eaten lunch, she impressed everyone with her ability to eat 4 pieces of pizza. After the food and cupcakes were done, the kids played some more while the party people got set up for the next portion of the party. First the brought in the trick horse who did things like bow. After the trick horse, came the donkey. Which was a big hit for all the kids and finally a bird who took turns sitting on their heads. The kids absolutely loved it!!!
