We left Sunday morning around 7 am and it took us less than 3 1/2 hours to get to Sarah's house. Both boys did awesome on the drive (the DVD players have been an awesome investment for trips).
We ate lunch and let the kids play for awhile at the house. Then we headed over to Keeneland to watch some horse racing. The track only runs races in April and October so this was a must-do for visiting at this time of year.
It was pretty crowded at the track but we found a spot up front where some people didn't mind our kids standing in front of them.
Mary Grace and Carter cheered for the horses during the races.
We stayed for 3 races because it was hard to keep the kids entertained for the 30 minutes between each race.
Carter had some amazing beginners luck. I only got around to betting on the last of the 3 races, but we would have won money on every race if we'd bet. The first race had a horse named Cars and Trucks so that was the obvious choice for us. That horse placed. I asked Carter which horse he thought would win the next race and he said the red one. That horse won. And for the last race we were there for, I read him all the names and he repeated one back to me. That horse also won. That's the one we bet on and we made a whole $1.20.
Keeneland was a lot of fun. It's been several years since I've been to a race track. I don't think Brian has ever been so I hope we get the chance to all go soon.
After Keeneland we went back to the house. The kids played in the backyard while Sarah and Brent made dinner. Mary Grace has this cool Gator. Carter liked driving it but Rylan LOVED riding in it. He was all smiles when it was moving.
Mary Grace got a sandbox for her birthday which was also a big hit with my boys.
After dinner we gave the kids baths, let them play a little more in the playroom, and then they were off to bed. The adults weren't that far behind.
