A Halloween-Donkey-Safari Party


There was a lot of excitement around 7MSN yesterday. A party was about to start and everybody had to dress up:

George thought he might be exempt since he was clearly napping:

...but Carson is very accommodating and was totally able to work around his sleep:

He was pretty much still sleeping when she was finished:

Even Wynonna agreed to don a colorful bandanna:

Mostly because she knows how stunning she looks in pink:

Soon, the party guests arrived:

Carson had to direct her crew to "please back up" because, in their excitement, they were all blocking the entry gate:

The guests were from Morning Bray Farm! Bernard was the first boy off the trailer:

The Morning Bray Boys, Ellsworth, Bernard and Patrick, took one look at the bandanna'd boys and girl of 7MSN and went behind a bush to hide. Though happy to see their friends, they weren't at all convinced they wanted to wear costumes:

Especially when they realized that, back at the barn, the next costume activity was taking place:

George won the "good sport" and "longevity-wear" prize, hands down:

...which irritated Hank a bit because he felt he totally rocked the dino hat:

Even the humans gave the hats a try, though we weren't really any competition for the critters:

Hank did compliment Justina on her hat. Hank luuuuuuuuhves Justina:

Carson's numerous photo assistants were always close-by and more than willing to suggest alternate subject matter for her photos:

Then it was time for everyone to head out onto the "Back 40". Quick as a wink, all the donkeys disappeared:

We humans felt very left behind, so Don came to our rescue with the Ranger:

and we went on a "Donkey Safari":

Without a doubt, this was the most fun I have had in a *long* time.

After some rough-terrain driving on the Back 40, we found them:

...the wild beasts (with bandannas) of 7MSN and MBF.

The wild beasts were quite curious and proceeded to nibble on our vehicle:

Carson grew concerned that Don's head was getting sunburned, however all we had to protect it was...this:

The hat didn't bother Lucy (or Don) a bit:

At times, it really did feel like we were out on the plains of Africa tracking magnificent wild animals:

...with our safari driver wearing a pig hat:

As always, though, much too soon, it was time for the Morning Bray Farm herd to head back home:

George and Alan stood at the fence until their friends pulled away:

Wouldn't it be fun to have a party like this every week?:

I sure think so:
