The Race is On!

Today we took Bradley to his first horse race.  The Stonybrook Steeplechase is an annual race here in our town so we decided it was finally time to partake in this piece of Pinehurst culture since Brad had never been to one before and Bradley is very much into horses these days.  When we told him we were taking him he said, “Is there going to be cowboys riding the horses?”  This little man has apparantly been watching too many western movies with daddy so I had to tell him about jockeys! It was cloudy but luckily the rain held off today.  These are all the pictures we took and if we get a chance to go next year we will be more prepared with tailgating food and games.  I didn't realize there are 5 races and a lot of time in between each one.  We had a wonderful time and Bradley said he “loved” it!

Brad ran into a teammate and we met his family.  Bradley liked the daughter! Go figure!

When the horses weren't putting a smile on his face he was Mr.. Attitude today.
