Too Much Fun

Daryle Singletary's philosophy in the Country Western Song "Too Much Fun" is that you just can't have "too much fun." But let me tell you, there was a herd of five to seven year olds at Kirk Hall on Wednesday, June 4, that came real close.

Even the adults at Cloverbud Wild West Camp seemed to have entirely too much fun hoopin' and hollerin', ropin', dancin', playin' games, and just generally goin' wild! There were a variety of hands-on activities for the 17 Cloverbud-aged cowpokes who participated. It was even fun learning a little about our western heritage by roping steer heads, learning how to read an animal brand, making pipe cleaner branding irons, and tying licorice knots. The little buckeroos tried their hands at herding some balloon cows and then rustled themselves up some trail mix grub for the ride back to the ranch. But before riding off into the sunset, each cowpoke took down a wanted poster advertising the fact that he/she was, indeed, "wanted for having too much fun."

Happy trails to all those Cloverbuds who participated and don't forget that we will be trying to break the record for having "too much fun" at Cloverbud Primary Fair on August 2.

Thanks for reading and don't forget to look at the pictures from Wild West Camp to the right of this entry.
