After the football game on Sunday afternoon, Don and I parked our camp chairs out in the pasture so we could spend time with the boys.
While Fergus and Nigel were right there with us, their preference is still not to get too close when we’re sitting in chairs.
However, because it was Don’s birthday, Bernard and Ellsworth were in a celebratory mood.
There were lots of hugs…
…high fives…
…cheers…
…and the customary shenanigans.
All in all, it was a beautiful afternoon…
…with beautiful boys…
…Fergus and Nigel included. ♥

Love all the party shots, but #4 made me really smile! If you use your imagination, they have very similar eyes and smiles!

I’m surprised you didn’t let the boys in the house to watch the football game with you on this special day.

You know, it is REALLY too bad that you haven’t bonded in any significant way with your burro bunch. Think of how much fun you could have with them. You could even start a blog about it…
Great photos, and I am insanely jealous of your wonderful relaxing afternoon.

What a great series.
Love (and agree totally with) Cathy R’s assessment. 🙂
I was just wondering how it was that Bernard allowed Don to remain hatted, and then I saw him start to nibble….. 🙂
Love the pic of Ellsworth’s noble visage (and ears, of course) against that wonderful sky.

Happy Birthday, Don!
You guys are so blessed. I know you know that. It looks like Ellsworth was singing a few bars of Happy Birthday, there. I love their goofy faces.
Big Hugs, all ’round.
