| Cowgirl Party |
Every child is unique. They all have different attitude and ways of having fun. Cowgirl party is one of the most different but interesting party for girls. Let’s find out on how Susie with her group held her birthday party.
The next game was "Grandma." Linda was the first Grandma and stood with her face to the wall. The other players stood in a line across the room. The idea of the game is for the players to creep up on Grandma without being seen. Grandma could turn at any time to look over her left shoulder or her right shoulder, but she could not at any time turn all the way around. If Grandma caught sight of a player moving she sent her back to the starting point. The player who first was able to creep up on Grandma and touch her took Linda's place and became the next Grandma.
Teatime came all too quickly. It consisted of thin nut-bread sandwiches cut with fancy cookie cutters, and cocoa. Old-fashioned snowballs and plenty of ice cream satisfied the sweet tooth. Snowballs, so popular in Grandmother’s day, are squares of white cake frosted on all sides with white cocoanut frosting. Linda and her guests all decided that having a "Grandmother’s" party was lots of fun.
Susie’s round up
Susie and her crowd had outgrown the tea-party stage. They had no time for dolls and were not yet interested in boys. Like many others of her age Susie was "cowgirl crazy." All she wanted for her birthday was a "Complete cowgirl outfit, and a party."
This posed a stumper but her clever mother found a solution. Susie's house became a ranch house and Susie invited all her crowd to a roundup. Costumes which called for jeans, boots and a sombrero brought pleasure to these young fillies who were at the moment very opposed to "dressing up." As soon as the girls arrived at Susie's, they sensed the atmosphere of ranch life. A fire roared in the fireplace. Beside it lay a huge birch log with an ax driven into it. On the other side of the fire boots were drying. On the newel post of the stairway stood a tin bucket of water with its accompanying dipper. Paper cups were hidden back of the bucket so no one actually drank out of the dipper.
For an opener Susie passed her cowgirl hat in which she had put a number of slips each bearing the name of a horse, such as Trigger, Silver, Knight, and others. Each guest drew one, pinned it to her dress, and became owner of that particular horse. The first game was "Ring Pan" toss. Susie put an angel food cake tin on a bare table, the dining table can be used, and shoved it against the wall. With small pieces of adhesive tape she marked the outer ring of the pan five points and the inner ring twenty-five points. The girls used five ping-pong balls for the game. Standing at the opposite end of the table from the cake tin, the girls took turns bouncing the balls into the pan, of course always trying to bounce into the center ring. Susie acted as score-keeper and announced the winners.
Next the cowgirls tried their skill with a rope. A small clothesline was used as a lasso. Susie's cowgirl hat was hung on the back of a dining-room chair and the girls, standing ten feet away, tried to lasso the hat off the chair back. Each girl had three tries and was awarded another try for a successful throw.
This party is quite fun for a girl who have a unique desire of fun. But it requires a little big space, so proper arrangement of place should be done before the party girl arrived.
