Friday's Tattler

We had a really nice time on Friday. We had a leisurely breakfast of whole grain pancakes - even added a little mung bean flour! Then it was "off to the races."

We went out to John Handcock's barn at Ellis Park, and we each got to sit on a race horse. We got to see a little guy up close whose name is "Brown." We fed the horses peppermints, Mountain Dew, carrots and a lot of love and then we went down to track.

We all saw the horse parade, but some of us from the distance of the shade. It was hot out there! Then we saw the horses win! Miss Judy put a $2.00 bet on every horse in the first race, but the man who set up my tickets did it wrong, so we didn't win anything. Too bad.

We then went over to Audubon Park for a picnic, and then off to ice cream.

All in all it was a fun day.

Looking forward to next week when we go to Blue Springs.

Pictures when I get them!
