Oh Kentucky Derby...

One of the items on my "Bucket List" is: to attend the Kentucky Derby. The dresses, hats, mint juleps, and horses....ah the fun. Back in Chicago we try to spend some summer afternoons at the Arlington Park Race Track, really hoping to take Jack there in May or June this year.

So not only have I always wanted to attend the Derby, but I would love to own a horse. One day Mike one day:) I figured that my argument of needing a horse would be more effective if Jack and those big-blue-puppy-dog eyes were on my side as well. In order to get him to love these beautiful creatures like I do, I figured he had to be introduced at a young age. When we were back in Barrington Mrs. Drury let us come out to feed their horses....and YES Jack was in love!

Anyone lucky enough to attend the Kentucky Derby this weekend have so much fun!!!

We also got to visit with sweet Spartacus Hamilton, learning that Jack is not afraid by the size of any animal, he wants to just hug on them all. Love that he is a huge animal lover!
