The Next best thing

Since we didn't make it to derby this year as planned, we settled for the next best thing: free races!

It was a nice enjoyable evening and the kids really liked seeing all the horses.  They also got filthy playing in all the dirt, but hey, that's what little boys are supposed to do right?

A lot of the pictures turned out pretty dark, so I played around with some editing.  As you can see, I'm no professional!

 I think this is a  cool picture!

 The boys liked watching all the horses getting ready at the paddock.

 Kaeson didn't like standing on the fence with Parker because he wasn't tall enough to see over, so we didn't get as many pictures of him watching like we did Parker. But we did snap this one while we were up in the box seats we weren't supposed to be in.
