oh just another day at the track...

i'm so excited to have spent the last two weekends at the track.  last year i didn't go at all, and i felt like i was missing out on something.  it was great getting to hang out with friends, drink (too much) some booze, lose a little money, and eat some awesome food.  here's how the day went...

and they're off!

view from our awesome picnic bench- thanks mike for getting me out of bed so early... SO worth it!

ok- there are just TOO many numbers in here for me- i just look at names ;)

muy importante...

too much. (but delicious!)

drink of choice

it was fun taking pictures with you all day, capow!

i like you because you're smart!

too cute.

shake shack baby!  (over priced and small ) the cheese was nice and melty though, and of course i got it with mustard!

mike's snack of choice... aka breakfast

holy crap- black & mild's!

lucky cigar!

hats, horses, and hattie's

yesterday was my first day at the track. ever. it was surprisingly exactly what i expected.  we got to sit in a sweet box and bet on ponies based on their names ( i bet on Kaitlyn, my sister's name, but wasn't so lucky). one of us won big :) but we all had a great time....

on the way up i was raving about hattie's, the best fried chicken joint around! i definitely got TOO excited when i realized that they had a booth set up with fried chicken sandwiches. best day ever! thanks to my favorite Green girls for making it an awesome day!

horses!

tara really looked the part with her hat and pearls... no wonder she won big!

place your bets ladies and gents!

ok... so here's the most important part (at least to me anyway!) sweet potato fries from hattie's!

and a fried chicken sandwich! heaven on a bun!

 and here they are!  next time you're at the track, you MUST visit them!

all those numbers gave me a headache...

horses... i was more amused with how green the grass was...

vintage...

i'm heading back next weekend with capow, so expect even more horsie pics next week!
