A day at the races

We took Anna out to Keeneland's Breakfast with the Works when were in Lexington earlier this month, and to say it was a big hit is an understatement.  Outside of our wedding reception, this was probably my favorite trip to Keeneland.  It was calmer, quieter, more accessible, and seeing all of the young race fans out enjoying the sights and sounds was just too cute.  The breakfast was nothing to write home about, but Anna's donut was free and it allowed us to kill time before the horses took to the track.  

A spot at the track-side railing is a coveted position during the meets, but at this hour, there were plenty of spots available and I haven't seen anything capture her attention for this long, ever.  Anna was in awe the first time a horse came trotting by, and quickly learned how to cheer them onto victory.  Hearing her little voice shout "Go Horsey, Go Horsey" was simply adorable.  

You can see her motioning the horses along, such a helpful fan!

It was a perfect morning all around and several times I stood back and thought about how lucky we are to provide these experiences for our children.  Seeing the world through the eyes of a child is nothing short of amazing!
