Sunday after lunch we went to Lone Star Park. The girls had never been to the horse races so we thought....3 and 5 was the perfect age to introduce GAMBLING. LOL! Of course we brought our favorite person in the world with us!! (Jaelyn) We gave each of the girls $2 before each race and told them to pick a horse. The girls absolutely loved it!! They also enjoyed the hot dogs, nachos, french fries, candy, ice cream and coke!!!! YES, they had all of that!
We came home after race 8 and ran to the swimming pool! We stayed at the swimming pool till dark. Then came home to our favorite dinner....7 Spices. We have that quite often.....because I have connections......sssshhhhhh!!!! ;) (Jaelyn's mommy and my best friend own the restaurant)
After dinner we tucked the girls in bed early. You can only imagine how exhausted they were! Mike and I then watched a great movie!
Wow, it is almost unbelievable how great our weekend has gone! I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings!!
We had a small attitude problem at the very beginning, but things got better! Berkley could not understand why she couldn't race~ LOL!
Jaelyn really wanted to ride too.
Their first $2....Their first bet!
Oh yes! That is my girl! Lone Star Park...Kentucky Derby.....a girl must not forget her hat! :)
The big girls really paid attention. Halle was just thrilled to have her peanut M&M's!!!
So naturally, guess who won the first race? HALLE!!!!! She loved it!!!
This was Berkley and Jaelyn's reaction after race 3. Jaelyn WON and Berkley came in second. The race was VERY close. Soooo fun!!!
Buds! Jaelyn, 5 going on 15.
Yummo!!!
Halle sister, that is as big as your head!
The big girls waiting to see how much $$$$$ they won! I think Jaelyn brought in $4.80 here.
It was very hot, but we did go out once to get a closer look at the beautiful horses!
Halle was insistent on riding one of the horses! This was the best I could do. She was thrilled!!!
Whewwww~
