We started off our Derby fun with Thunder Over Louisville. We enjoyed the air show, as well as time at the Chow Wagon. We also enjoyed the fireworks, although we did not see them all, due to lots of smoke.
Riding the bus was lots of fun!
We had to wake Preston up from his nap to catch the bus. He was SO sleepy!
Evan got cotton candy and he was so sweet and shared it with everyone.
The air show view from the office was great!
Alex liked exploring the office, just as much as the the air show or the fireworks!
D.J. Preston liked cranking up the music and dancing.
Fun at the Chow Wagon!
The fireworks were awesome!
Preston's school had Derby party and the kids got to ride real horses! Preston loved riding Nick, as well as getting his face painted, playing games and having a special ice cream treat.
We were able to enjoy The Great Steamboat Race and the rides at Fest-a-Ville. The weather had been terrible the day of the race and I didn't think we would be able to attend because of the storms. Thankfully, the weather cleared up right before the race and we were able to go. Sadly, The Belle of Louisville did not win, but we still had a great time!
Carl and I attended Oaks this year, which is becoming an annual tradition. We did not win ANY races, but we had lots of fun watching the races and hanging out with our friends.
The Congletons joined us for a Derby party on Derby Day. We had lots of fun with the kids, as they enjoyed the water slide, big bubble wands, sidewalk chalk and a pinata! We also had lots of fun watching the races and betting on the ponies. Carl even picked the trifecta for the big race! Grammy, Granddaddy and Ron joined us too and it was a really fun party.
My handsome boys on Derby Day!
Luke made an Oreo sandwich!

The pinata was lots of fun!
