The Kentucky Derby & Adventures at Jellystone

So I realize it's been more than a month since I last posted anything, but since the warmer weather has moved in, we've spent TONS of time outside and blogging has not really been at the top of my to-do list.  :)

On the Thursday before Derby Day, I attended another Kentucky Derby at TC Cherry.  Kennedy was the best looking jocky I've ever seen and even had a derby hat on that she made herself.  When I asked her what her horse's name was, she said it was "Fire Pants" which I later got clarification that the correct name was "Pants on Fire." lol  Same difference, right?

With her horse in her hand, the class headed down to the playground for the derby and Kennedy got second place in her race!! I was so proud of her!!

After her race, all the winners got to compete for the winning title and Kennedy cheered on her best friend, Kaia, who won.  Kennedy was so proud of her friend that she even stopped her for a quick hug during Kaia's victory lap.....

Kennedy enjoyed some kid-friendly Mint Juleps after the race and overall had a GREAT day.  It was by far the BEST Kentucky Derby I have ever watched!  The following day, Jeremy and I went with Kennedy on her class field trip to Jellystone in Cave City.  The kids had a blast and Kennedy enjoyed having a day of fun, but was somewhat bummed that her parents showed up apparently.  She was not in the best mood, but we tried not to be helicopter parents and I just took pictures from the sidelines. lol  I did find that she apparently gets her golfing skills from me and NOT her Papa who is a regular golfer.....

By the end of the field trip, she was in a much better mood and actually took picture with (gasp!) her PARENTS!! How embarrassing!!  But this picture was by far my favorite of the day....



Now THAT is a good Daddy!
