Looks like a scene from a movie doesn't it?
Well, my cousin got married a couple months ago and had a her reception two weekends ago. It was a "Day at the Races" in Kentucky. My mom, sisters and I packed up and headed out. It sure felt like a movie in that place - I've never seen anything like it!
This is at my cousin's husband's family farm where they board horses. The horses saw us coming and lined up in a perfect row and started walking toward us. They were gorgeous animals and were so friendly and curious.
In Cincinnati. My aunt and uncle took us to Skyline Chili, which is famous for their food. My mom ate the Cincinnati tradition called a "three way" - spaghetti, chili and cheese. When I got home we saw this wonder on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.
Then they took us to "Graters," probably the best ice cream I have ever had.
We headed to Lexington for the luncheon and day at the races. They had their luncheon at the Keenland Mansion, which is at the Keenland Race Track where we watched the races.
Mom, Tam, me, Anna, and my Aunt Pam.
The beautiful fall leaves outside the mansion.
This is what it looked like driving up to the luncheon, gorgeous!
Ok, it started to do the underline thing and this post has already taken way too much time. Not about to start over. My cousin Andrea, Anna, my cousin Emily (the bride), Tam and me.
Look at that! It was so neat!
They give you these sweet umbrellas to combat the blazing sun.
We visited my cousin's husband's family farm. Tam was a natural with the horses.

This weekend we had the annual Middlemiss Halloween Bash. It was too fun!
Thanks mom and dad.
Brady has the best ideas for Halloween Costumes. Although not too functional, we loved ours this year.
How could I not post this precious one?
The whole group!
I needed some help at the fishing pond. Anything that required me using both hands together was out of the question.
Pretty fairy.
