Keeneland Weekend

Our weekend at Keeneland was a heck of a good time. Nobody walked away rich but we never expect that.
Earl packed us surprise snack bags which are just the most fun. I even got a flashing candy necklace! There were gourmet hot dogs with bacon, fried bologna sandwiches, lots of chips, chocolate, fruit cups, fried pies, the list goes on and on.
Everyone had winning horses and losing horses, Andrea tried out the 10 cent trifecta and superfecta. I'm not sure of the twinks strategy this time but Kelsey let me know her financial situation was BAD, she was down 40 cents.
And being in Lexington when UK beat LSU was pretty exciting! Maybe not as exciting as the Halloween House with the multitude of Halloween displays and Jesus clown next door to our hotel.
And we ran into a great deal on Webkin purses. Anyone not knowing what a Webkin is will just have to do the research, I don't think I can explain.
Probably the only down side to the trip ( other than Todd's mattress being similiar to sleeping in a canoe) was the shoes that were so perfectly fashionable rubbed raw spots on the girls' feet. I did pick up some travel tips about bad shoes. Take your dinner napkin, fold it several times and stuff it between your foot and shoe to prevent further irritation. Or when all else fails, have Dad carry you.
