On Sunday, we got to go out to Lone Star park to enjoy some horse racing. The girls have never been out there before and lucky for us, our family horse experts (i.e. my Dad and step-mom) were on hand to show them around. Also, the horse that they have part ownership in (basically, they own the right back hoof) was running. So, we got to go back to the barn to see Little Turtle in person before the race, what a treat!
We made it back to the grandstands, where the girls placed their bets on the next couple of races (whoever won between my parents and the girls got tickled by the girls) and we waited our time for Little Turtle's race. The girls went down to the paddock, watched Turtle get ready and then we headed out front for the race. She was racing in a lower level claiming race from what she had ran in before and had a great break from the gate, but it was just not her day, finishing in the middle of the pack.
The girls had a lot of fun and we can't wait to see what kind've race horse that Little Turtle turns into.
