Ok, so we decided to have a Derby Party to reconnect with some of our friends we hadn't seen in awhile. We had a great time, & had I found my camera, I'd post a pic of all the kids after making their derby hats! Lots of flowers, feathers, & foam horses to go
around. Lexi is the rock-star 'babysitter,' coming prepared with games of all
sorts for everyone to play. I put babysitter in quotes b/c she really was there
just to play herself! For a 2nd year in a row, a McMain girl won the money
pool! We'll have to remind Kenzie when she gets older that when we told her she
won, she replied "oh, did I win a lolipop?" Helen caught me in the yard
yesterday on her way to head to the track to place a bet. Brooklyn & I rattled
off 4 numbers to her for an exacta box- I cracked up laughing when I finally
made it inside to see who we bet on & discovered that we picked every horse with
30:1 odds! LOL.
Update...none of our selected horses won. Also, 2 years ago I posted that I bought Brooklyn a 50th Anniversary Derby Barbie. Bought it for $20, its' now on Amazon for $99.00. (would be nice if everything else that return in today's economy!!)
