MARCH 2014 | BRAVAMAGAZINE.COM 31 Milk cans, Western boots, whiskey barrels and straw bales supporting barn doors set the country mood and the table. Beside pink-frosted cupcakes, cookies and lemonade, kids enjoyed rustic fun, like hopping in the saddle for 25-cent pony rides and seeing how they measured up. An easy and kid-friendly menu of lil' smokies, cowgirl caviar, cakes, short stacks of cookies and lemonade perfectly complemented the Western theme and kept the party focused on fun. Yee-haw!
