Western night

Each year the church that we do Awana through has a Western night. It is a lot of fun for the kids, and leaders alike. They encourage the kids to dress in country western wear. They take the Sparks and older groups on a hayride through local streets. Rocky and I pull the Puggles and Cubbies around on our trailer with the golf cart in the parking lot. They bring in a small petting "zoo/farm" outfit and a mechanical bull and also have a bonfire for roasting marshmallows and making s'mores.
We've never dressed the kids for the night. They never had western wear. This year for his birthday Charime asked for a cowboy costume, and trips to a few local goodwill stores last night yielded Zuri's and Mardie's western effects. The kids had a blast for Western Night!
