Western Day

Today was Western Day for the kindergarteners at Harding Academy. Anna has been talking it up for weeks because 1) it is fun and 2) it is a non-uniform day. I was resourceful and found some awesome red boots just her size on e-bay and the rest of the outfit was from her closet. She was very excited to get dressed this morning. After braiding her hair, Caroline piped in and asked for a ponytail. Poor thing barely has enough hair at 2 1/2 for a pony tail. It was a valiant effort. I did have to disppoint her because even though she wanted it braided, that just was not going to happen. Anna make her own stick horse and participated in stick horse races, a roping game and a search for "gold" in the hay bales. What fun! Yee-haw!!
