I'm sure that's an authentic cowgirl face.
She got two rides -- it would've been two hundred, if she'd had her way!
The hay ride was pretty fun, too.
And we got to pet the big horsies, too!
(They were very nice, patient horses.)

Now presenting!
Happy birthday to you! / Happy birthday to you!
For me?
Happy birthday dear Mommy! / Happy birthday to you!
Okay, now hurry up and cut the cake!
Mmm, cake!
Waiting patiently. Sort of.
