DISNEY WILD WEST WOODY PARTY GAMES
This holiday has been far too short – it’s so hard to believe that Hero’s Wild West Woody party barbecue was over a month ago. He’s two and two months old now and about to be marooned at home whilst his two bigger brothers head off to big school, leaving him at home as the baby of the boys. I’m going to stop thinking about that for now because each time I picture Lyoto at school, he seems far too little and I start to panic that he won’t like it. Then resurfaces my greatest worry, that being at school will demolish his confidence, as it did for his big brother, and crush his big, bouncy personality. So yes, I better stop thinking about that now.
So, Hero’s party – it was so much fun, despite being completely side-swiped by the non-stop rain. We had so many brilliant cowboy activities picked out that were completely dashed by the unexpected coastal weather, but we gave them a try when we weren’t holding down tablecloths, covering cakes and desserts up – or chasing plates and napkins across the country park.
At the entrance to the wild west Woody party, we set up a cowboy station – hats, bandanas and moustaches, with sheriff stars for the law abidin’ members of our celebrations. Lyoto was first to get his sorted out with a little help from a big cousin.
They were supposed to be cowboy hats but for some reason this photograph reminded me of the beach bbq part of our wedding in Walt Disney World.
There were hay bales and wanted frames for selfies – and again, Lyoto was ready with pistols blazing.
Hero quite fancied himself with a big moustache like daddy.
Our centrepiece for the party games was our gorgeous extra large teepee. In the end it was a shelter for seven little people who looked like waterlogged festival goers instead of seasoned cowboys, but they loved it all the same. Hero made Grandad Frank lie in the tent and peep through the hatch at me.
There was a rodeo ring toss – after buying and sending back two different ring toss sets which were hopeless, we found this one from Wonderlings and it was perfect. If you’re after one of these, skip the pain of sending back non-hooped-hoops and splintered wood crosses to Amazon [who were brilliant about it] and head over there.
We set up a panning for gold station with studded pie tins as sieves, and fools gold and silver and gold lettered beads strewn throughout the stones. Panning for your name was so much fun – and we had some black elastic on hand for bracelet creation. Hero rolled up his little sleeves and got stuck in.
The weather was awful, but the company was amazing for Hero’s wild west Woody party. Smiles all round. Peek-a-boo!
The weather really shouldn’t mess with you should it?! It looks as though you created the perfect day for making memories of turning 2. I love the teepee and the gold sifting activity. Absolutely perfect.
(I can’t leave without saying I’m sorry to read about Jensen’s experience at school and your concerns for Lyoto. I so hope with big brother alongside him he does well. xx).
Oh wow, this does look like lots of fun, lovely pictures 🙂
I love the pictures. They look like they had an awesome time. So fun!
What a shame about the weather but looks like an amazing party still.
What a party! The weather certainly doesn’t show on your photos but it looks like everyone had a great time.
This is because I snapped furiously as the rain started to come down – you’ll see it in other posts! We did have a brilliant time though 🙂 Lemons and lemonade, you know? 🙂
Ahh such a shame about the weather but what a fab day this looks!! I love the photos, they are just adorable, just a shame the great british weather always tries to spoil our fun!
You would think that in August, you’d be safe! 🙂
What a party it looks great fun, I’m planning my little boys who’s nearly 2 but it wouldn’t be nearly as awesome as this one looks, a party to remember I’m sure xxx
You are so kind. I look forward to hearing all about your party planning!
I love this theme idea. It is outside of the box of regular party themes. Your son is so cute.
Aw, thank you! He’s too little to pick a theme yet and so I’m enjoying doing it for him! He’s such a sweetheart, thank you for the lovely comment.
What fun, my girls would adore the panning for gold. I might just have to set that up for them. Mich x
This sounds like a fun idea for a birthday party. My baby just started Kindergarten this year. I am kinda sad because he has grown up so fast.
aaaw this looks so funny! playing outside is something that children love, I’m sure they had lots of fun xx
I really like this picture it looks a fun idea for Birthday party.
Now that is our kind of party, I bet the boys had a ball. Hope he is not too lonely now the older ones are back to school
Thanks! Lucky for him, today is inset and so he has an extra day – then Yotie doesn’t start until the 12th. I’m hoping I get more work done with just one at home…. hahaha.
I have to admit that this Wild West Woody Party was an awesome theme for any little one’s party. He looks so cute and I love the cowboy hats with the little sheriff stars and mustaches. This is a theme I will have to share with my sister and my niece for their little ones. Thanks for sharing this awesome party and the adorable photos.
What a fun party, love the props at the beginning to take fantastic pics! Such a great theme and very well executed! x
You’re so kind, thank you!
This looks like an amazing idea for a party, the pictures of him peeking out of the tent are the CUTEST. I hope that your son does okay at school, please keep us updated about his experience!
That’s so kind of you Cassie – thank you so much, I will!
I love the idea of a wild west party – lots of fun.
Despite the weather, it still looks like you had an amazing party! I absolutely love the theme and the little mustaches!
Ah how fun! I love that kind of party. Yeah I worry about my littlest going off to school next year in fact…he seems way too young.
Awww what a cute post. I love this theme idea. Sorry about the weather but it looks as though everyone still had fun.
I really love the theme of this party! Such a unique idea and by the looks of it – it was executed perfectly.

What a great party! My mummy had a Wild West themed 30th Party with Line Dancing and a Bucking Bronco!
Gorgeous photos, it looks like the little ones had a great time.
Boy, I wish I were this age again to have this king of party! (Or am I just the right age… It’s never too late for fun!) I love the whole idea, the pictures were amazing, and the kiddos must have had such fun! Great job, I love it!
Those are some beautiful photos that they will cherish for years to come. I wish I was more creative when taking pictures of my boys.
Sorry to hear that the weather wasn’t that great but the pictures look amazing and I’m sure everyone had a great time!
