Friday Night Races...

Wednesday, June 2, 2010

So one of the things on my Summer Bucket List is a trip to Canterbury Park to watch the horse races...
It's been awhile since we've been out there - and I love that it's a family friendly place to hang out, outdoors no less...

Such a bummer that on this very day I shipped my SLR camera back to the Canon Factory in VIRGINIA for repair...it would have come in handy...but never fear - my trusty new point and shoot will fill in just fine...

Grandpa Larry & Grandma Tammy were in town to visit us - they haven't come here since our wedding - six years ago -

So it was a rare treat to be able to entertain them here... Auntie Christy & Madison joined us too

Everyone had a blast - despite the expressions on the pre-teen's face...

In fact, I saw her rockin' out with H...

To the 80's tunes sung by former American Idol contestant Jessie Langseth...



I took D to get up close & personal with the horses...but since it was just he & I - I didn't get any decent shots...But we both had fun rubbing noses with these beautiful creatures...


Grandpa & Grandma treated everyone to giant buckets of popcorn...


And D got a few grandpa whisker rubs...
Is there anything better? I so love that even though we don't see our family more than a couple of times a year - our kids pick right up where we left off and know no boundaries...they love unconditionally...

3 Generations of Gust boys...


H kept picking the #4 horse for every race - because she's 4...and I swear - the #4 horse won like 5 races we watched - next time - we're putting money on the kid's choices!

It was a great time - a gorgeous summer evening, visiting with family & knocking something off of our bucket list! I'm hoping we'll get out there again this year...
