A proper Cowboy spread. (Notice the tent in the corner..we made that from a WWII pup tent that I picked up at an estate sale, add a few bamboo poles, and voila!)

Cowboy gear for kids and adults alike!

A watering hole for adults.

A DIY rope sign (so simple!).  Follow the instructions available at Love Grows Wild (http://lovegrowswild.com/2013/08/how-to-make-rope-letters/).  I used hemp rope because that is what I had laying around.

DIY Wanted Signs featuring the birthday boy.  Template available at Martha Stewart (http://www.marthastewart.com/271584/cowboy-cutouts).  I printed the template onto four 8x11 sheets.

A Dude Ranch would not be complete without a petting zoo.
