Pam dressed up as Marilyn Monroe. When the cake was cut, she sang "Happy Birthday, Mr. President," to Larry, who dressed, not as JFK, but as Jesse James.
I decided to dress as a Biker Babe, and Phillip played along as my Old Man. We kept our costumes simple, but enlisted the help of Jessalyn at Jessalyn Claire Studios to provide a painted on tattoo to complete the look.
Phillip found us some do rags and we wore t-shirts from concerts we have attended to complete the look. I think we looked pretty rough. Phillip got a heart tattoo with a banner with my name!
Skulls are in fashion, so I had Jessalyn paint a skull and orange flowers for me.
The party was held on a ranch near Hico, Tx. The weather was beautiful.
The party featured a hay ride for the children. Phillip and I rode along in a pick up truck with Pam and Larry to observe the exotic animals that live at the ranch.
We saw a family of exotic sheep with their babies.
The donkies were companions to the zebra!
Yes, I said a ZEBRA!
We both had to pose with the zebra and the donkies. The owners are hoping for the donkies and the zebra to reproduce. Their offspring would be called a zeedonk.
I got a picture of an elk with a huge rack. Yes, I know it is fuzzy. It was my first time shooting with the 64X zoom in the field. I was so excited that my hands were shaking.
This final picture is of Trish, who is just now recovering from hip surgery. We all had a beautiful day together, celebrating life, and recovery and friendship.

Fantastic! Looks like a great time was had by all.
P.S. How long did your temporary tattoos last? Good job, Jessalyn!
Hey, Kristie! We did have a great time. The temporary tattoo only lasted till we bathed. It was supposed to last a week, but Jessalyn had to use a different solvent, that didn't work as well.
