Off to the Races!

This weekend my cousin and her boyfriend came to visit so we headed out to the horse track on Saturday night to see the horses! As most of you know Matt has been obsessed with horses since he was very young. We had Matt's 2nd birthday at the race track and celebrated with all of our family including my Uncle Johnny who has a few quarter horses that were racing too. It was a blast for everyone!

Matt screamed like a girl at his birthday party when a horse got close but this weekend he just wanted to pet them the entire time. He'd watch the horses go onto the race track and give all the jockeys the "thumbs up". He told me he wanted to ride the horses but I said that those horses are really fast so we can't ride them. He promised he would hold on tight! So we'll have to head down to the ranch in the Fall when it's cooler so he can ride.

Marlie actually reached out to touch the horse too! She had fun betting her college fund on the races. Kidding of course! We ended the night up $12ish dollars so that's not bad. We'll be back in a few weeks when my Uncle's horse Romancing Mary comes back to Houston to race. It's really exciting for the kids and us. I'll keep you posted on the date in case anyone else would like to join us!
