The Downs had an open house yesterday where people could come and check-out what horse racing is all about. There was free food, pony rides, a petting zoo, tours, and some play money for everyone to bet on practice races. So I, like any good christian mother would do, decided to take my kids and expose them to the wonderful world of betting. Everything was free and everything was new to the kids. They were so excited when we told them we weren't going home after church (something which makes Rhys grumpy...going home that is). I got a lot of great pictures of our outing, here's a small sampling.
-pigging out on the free food-
-getting to see where the horses live-
-pony rides for all!-
-runner ducks...best ducks ever-
-my favorite picture of the day-
-playing on the benches, waiting for the race to start-
-watching the horses walk past-
James and I put all of our play money on one horse...he came in dead last. We aren't very good at gambling, at all actually, but it was a fun day and the kids were happy to have some new experiences.
