We took the kids to the horse races on the 3rd. This was Ella's first time, and Carter's second. We had fairly mild weather, which was great, and enjoyed our fun evening out at Lone Star Park!
Ella seeing the horses for the first time at their stables.
Two handsome guys.
She had been talking about "horses" and "race" all day long, and was excited to finally get to see it!
Watching them run the track... this was just before the horses crossed the finish line right in front of them.
In between races, we headed to the family fun park. Carter had a ball in the bounce house with some new friends that he made.
We also went inside the petting zoo (no pics of that, my hands were a little full!) that they both really liked, too. There were the cutest little baby goats and miniature pot belly pigs that Carter loved. And an overly aggressive llama that kept bumping into me and Ella... she didn't really like that. She did enjoy looking at the animals, although she wouldn't pet any of the animals. Eric did eventually get her to take one of the brushes they provided, and brush the goats. Such a girl!!
Time for treats. Snow cones and popcorn!
Sneaking a peak at the horses.....
Pretty sure this girl ate her weight in popcorn.
And, we're drinking the left over snow cone syrup... nice!
The kids had their share of fun, and we actually opted to leave early and beat the traffic out rather than stay for the fireworks since we knew we'd see some on the 4th. Turned out to be a good decision because on our way home, we saw parts of probably 4 different fireworks displays. We ended up getting a pretty good show after all, just from the highway! Such a fun night with our little family!!
