Memorial Day Weekend Rewind

{FRIDAY}
We went to Churchill Downs to do a little betting on the ponies!

They had food trucks and $2 beers!





Churchill Downs Art!



Pat Day!

At the track...losing all of our money! {sad face}

Then we went out to have a beer, pizza and play some pool

[Saturday]
Boatin' on the Ohio River & Wedding!
This was my first time actually being on the Ohio River... Except in Middle School on the Belle of Louisville.


It finally got warm enough to board!

Gotta' have the American Flag out!

It was so hot Bentley was panting like there was no tomorrow!

Bailey loved sitting in the shade on the front porch!
{or anywhere she could find}

Izzy is a minature Golden Doodle






The pond at the front entrance is where the kids usually fish











Is so peaceful with the fountain





The catfish Andrew's little brother caught!
Walking back up from the lake and waiting for my slow @ss. 

Cerveza and Redneck Golf..... We call this game "testie toss" and I'm sure you can figure out why.


Andrew was the reigning champ! The closest I ever got to him was 21-15. {I need to start practicing!}

To top off Monday night: Cassadee Pope (winner from The Voice last year) played at the local bar Tin Roof! 

The awesome thing about 3 day weekends, is the following work week is only 4 days! 
WOO HOO! Cheers to that!
