Derby Mania



We're BACK!!! Missed you all!

Here's some photos of our trip to Louisville, KY!!!!

We had a great time...We're exhausted, but enjoyed our visit with my family and also the little get- away! I don't think I like traveling pregnant...Just more to lug around! :)

We toured the Maker's Mark bourbon distillery,did a really cool tour of Mammoth Caves, went to the backstretch at Churchill Downs and saw all the horses in their stables (and a lot of John Deere tractors...that's what Micah cared about when we talked to him), went for a short nature walk/hike, and, of course, attended THE KENTUCKY DERBY!!! It was the second largest recorded crowd for the derby and the hats were just crazy! You just can't find hats like that around these parts...If we ever go again, I will wait and buy my hat when we get there!

Clint ate a lot of meat...he even took pictures of his rib dinner one night. :) I felt good for most of the trip. A few ups and downs but overall I'm so thankful for the nausea staying under control and for everyone's concern that we traveled with.

Thanks to my parents for organizing and funding a great vacation...we had a lot of fun! Thanks to Clint's parents for watching the kiddos..they had a great vacation from us too, it sounds like!

I'm so glad that you had a good time on your trip! I'm also glad that you are back in town, Morgan has been asking for days to see Micah.

Glad you're back. Thought of you all week-end. I'd be in trouble if I had to go ...my head is enormous, and looks terrible in hats. However, you look fabulous!
