We Saw the Horses

During the week of the Kentucky Derby (back in May) we were fortunate enough to go to Churchill Downs two times.  Brian and I went with his work for an afternoon and enjoyed complimentary food and drinks and bet on a few horses.  No, we didn't win anything.  We had lots of fun though.  We decided on Wednesday before the Derby to take the girls to Dawn at the Downs.  You can buy tickets to a buffet and watch some races but we just went in one of the gates for free and watched the horses warm up.  The girls (and us) LOVED watching the horses run.  We got there around 7:30 a.m. which was no small feat but totally worth it.  This will be an annual family tradition for us Laffin's.
