Churchill Downs

Before we left to drive to Indiana, we stopped by Churchill Downs again and went through the museum. We also took a tour of the racetrack. What fun! I think one day it might be fun to go to the Kentucky Derby.....if we could stand the crowds!!

In the museum at the Winner's Circle - Hoyt asked me "Mom, who is the jockey on the horse?" I had to explain the the jockey wasn't "real"!


Stables where they keep the horses right before the race


Ryon and Matt next to....some famous horse....right now I can't seem to remember which one!!


The "winner's circle" on the track. The grounds are so beautifully maintained.


This one is a little bright - but Allison and I had to get a picture in as well!


They keep a few horses stabled right on the grounds. This guy is retired, but pretty impressive.


We all loved the game where you ride in the Kentucky Derby. Allison was the winner by FAR!



Sometimes I wonder about these two!!

I love that you vacation with Biglers. They are so much fun. It's good to have friends that you can do that with. It looks like you had a great time.
