Shannon Gurney Photoblog: Party Pics

or should I say snapshots? Probably snapshots.

This past weekend was Taylor's birthday. He turned "5". I'd been telling Ty about the party for, at least, a week and when the actual day came Ty was sick (not puking or anything but sick all the same). I didn't have the heart to make him stay home, which I should of done because he was a bit of a party pooper. Luckily, my mom decided to go with us and she kept Ty happy (and Wes, too) while I was able to get my usual bit of snapshots for Taylor's momma.

Here are some of my favorite (totally random) shots...

The birthday boy. He had a John Deere cake, too. He must've been really good this year!

The party was at a really cool farm where the kids were able to pick out pumpkins, pet lots of animals, eat tons of junk, ride on a carousel, and a whole lot more...

Did I mention learning to milk a cow? Okay, so it was a fake cow, but still!

That train was super neat. All the kids thought so...except Ty, of course, who was whining about feeling yucky and laying his head on the side of the car. No pictures of that...BORING!

Wait a minute...he's perking up....

CANDY! It solves all the world's problems!

AND then, the carousel...you can't go wrong with that!

Unless you're Wes...

Poor kid. Oh, the terror of a carousel!

I can't remember Ty ever being afraid of the carousel. In fact, if I remember it correctly, he's always loved it. But, my little Wes is a very unique individual...

It's a good thing Grandma's always around to keep him safe. Especially, since I'm always in the corner laughing (with my camera, of course!)...
