Kentucky Derby! May 1, 2010

From Brookings, SD to Fairbank, IA to Louisville, KY and back in five days!
It was a fast trip, but SO worth it! Thursday night we drove to Fairbank. Cailin got to stay with Grandma and Grandpa, while we drove to Louisville on Friday. My mom made the trip with us. Because she and Dad lived there for many years, she still has some friends down there - so we were able to stay with them! We got to meet my brother and his family down there. Mom watched my nieces on Saturday while we went to the Derby. The weather was horrible - WIND, rain and clouds. YUCKY! Luckily we came prepared with rain suits a tarp and a canopy, so we stayed pretty dry and warm. Unlike the people below who had a little fun in the mud!!

We were in the infield...you see a little bit of everything! :)

My Derby video...I forgot the SD card for my camera, so it's a VERY short video, but you can see the horses!! :)

I did have a couple winning tickets! Leon was REALLY close to hitting the trifecta!!
It's a fast trip, but we always have such a fun time!!
