Then, it was time for a wild afternoon, with a petting farm and horseback ride, bouncing around in the bounce house, and cracking codes in an Escape Room right on our front lawn! A massive shoutout to Kelly Harris, Gaby Hughes, Melissa Chapman, Katherine Hyland, and Maddy Mitchell - you made it all happen! The day wouldn't have been the same without your hard work and dedication! #BYKTWD
