Four-year old Aaron wanted more than anything to be a cowboy. Aaron's wish was a special occasion for him and his family, and it marked a special milestone for the Make-A-Wish Foundation^® —its 50,000th wish.

Like many little boys his age, Aaron loves horses and wanted to be a cowboy. Aaron's wish was granted by the Greater Bay Area Make-A-Wish Foundation in California. Aaron spent a week as a cowboy on a working Montana ranch.

On the night of his arrival, Aaron was the honored guest at a welcoming barbeque. The next day he was outfitted in a complete new set of "cowboy clothes," just in time to be introduced to his own ranch horse. He then spent the next few days getting the feel of the saddle, eating cowboy grub around the campfire, attending a county fair, riding in a Labor Day parade, and just enjoying cowboy life under that big Montana sky.
