And They're Off!

We took the kids to the horse races yesterday.  They've been watching the races on tv and Mike and I thought they would love seeing some live racing.  Sundays are family days, so there were some other activities for the kids, too.  It was very fun and the kids loved betting on the horses!  We ended up losing money, but not too badly :-)  I guess picking horses based upon their names isn't the most effective process.

I got some pictures of the kids before leaving for the race track, too.  Enjoy!

 Waiting in line for the pony rides.....

 This one wouldn't ride....afraid they would go too fast. Seriously. I think he thought they were waiting in line to ride a race horse.....

 I think this may be the last year for Abby and the pony rides. She looks too big!

 Griff would, however, brush the pony.

 Horses warming up before the race.....

 And here they come!
