Off to the Kentucky Derby

This weekend Brian, Alex, Mackenzie and a good family friend, Tonya, were off to the Kentucky Derby! They even had the hats to go along with the trip! :) They had a blast...though they are thinking that the Derby is really for people who like to party - not necessarily for people who really are interested in horses. It gave them a nice diverse look at all kinds of people - oh and gave them many additional reasons as to why one should never drink alcohol! :)

I loved seeing all the fashionable photos of the many hats.

Well this post is just some extra photos from various camera's from the trip to Kentucky. We loved looking at the Derby hats at Keeneland Racetrack...Mackenzie even bought the hot pink one! It was such a great family trip! Low key - but lots of good memories were made!

We visited the Kentucky Horse Park and Mackenzie and I went on a tour of famous farms such as "WinStar". These prestigious farms are home to famous race horses that have won Kentucky Derby's. Do you have any idea how much these horses are worth? There are some that are bred two times a day for 100K a pop! WOW.

We also got up super early one morning and Brian and I took Mackenzie to the racetrack to see the horses warming up in the morning. It was exhilarating to watch these amazing creatures and their partner jockeys. I know that there is a lot of parts to the racing industry that Mackenzie doesn't care for, but she really enjoyed watching this.
