Another Day at the Races!

 Where's Anna?  Where's Anna?

 There she is!  Hiding under the book that has replaced the paci as comfort object of choice.  This book goes with us EVERYWHERE.  If Mommy and Daddy have to read Sleeping Beauty one more time...ugh.  At least Sleeping Beauty won't jack up Anna's teeth like paci was starting to.  Read some more, Mama!
 Papa's spirit really was with Babi at the track.  Wish he would have been with us, too!  She won over $100 bucks!  Not a bad day!  We won about $35 only because Daddy bet the WRONG horse on a race to win - and it was a long shot - and it WON!  If he had listened to Mama they would have lost $4 more bucks!  See?!  NOT listening paid off in this instance!
 We aren't sure if Grandma won any money or not, she kept placing bets, and then forgetting who she bet on...
 We spent the day in Millionaire's Row which has a sweet buffet you can eat on pretty much all day, indoor seating and lot of convenient windows to place your bets.
 Not a bad haul for a 3 year old...a little wooden pony and some bills!
 We had an awfully fun day at the track.  Mama loves that we are "growing up" with the track just like she did.  It's so fun, we love it!
And we love all "the friends"!  Thanks for sharing this special weekend with us!
Love,
Lilly and Anna
