Racetrack Fun

We hit Arlington park for Father's day this year. The horse track is always a good time since we go only once a year. It was neat to see just how into it the girls were this year. I did not think they would make it all day, but once again I was surprised. What was shocking was the fact that B was more into placing bets with Daddy than eating! I don't even think she asked for food!

Daddy and B had great fun picking horses and going to place the bets. B even caught a few mistakes that Daddy made. She was big on colors and when she found the horse named Saint B she was all over this one.

Little A was really into cheering the horses on. She loved to watch the horses run by and really got into which number won. The funny part was when she saw the "follow horse" ( I don't know what the real name or the job of this horse and rider is, but they follow behind the racers) anyway... as A saw this horse cross the finish line, well after the others, she said,"That is so sad that he is all by himself" I then tried to explain that he was not a race horse he just stayed close in case one got hurt.

The weather was good and the family time was even better. It was a good Father's day if you ask me.
