Father's Day at the races

Happy Father's Day, Daddy!


David, Reagan and I drove up to the Dallas area to Lone Star Park for the horse races on Father's Day. It was a treat for Reagan's dad, but it was really a treat for my dad. He didn't know we were coming. In fact, he didn't know anything was happening until it actually happened!


Reagan was a champ the entire day. No, he didn't win any money, but he was so well behaved the entire time~~the 3 hour drive there, the 4 or so hours at the races, and the 3 hour drive back to Austin. I say this over and over, but I always think that days like that are going to be hard on him. Nope! He played well with the toys that he brought when all of the adults were inside planning their wagers and watching the races. He loved going outside with Daddy and Grandaddy to watch the horses as they raced past the finish line. He even got to pet a horse's nose!! Now he talkes about the horse races all the time, and he's looking forward to next time where "maybe there will be cow races and chicken races". I hope he won't be too disappointed with just the horses...



Watching the horses get into the starting gates (on the big TV).

It was so fun to watch Reagan play with his grandaddy at the races. Here are a few pictures of Grandaddy trying to find what Reagan has in his pocket (and maybe in his mouth!).
