Del Mar

The Douherets plan a Del Mar weekend each year for their birthday. This is the third year we've gone. Spending a day out of the heat with friends and family is wonderful. We got to visit with Randy and Katie and bet a bit on the horses. Drew was the big winner of the day. We'd open the book, she'd look at it and pick a number and low and behold, that horse would come in. Yes, we "technically" letting our daughter gamble but only because she had absolutely no clue what she was doing. Notice though that her hair is long enough for pigtails! Finally. She had a meltdown at the end of the day when she realized she had to come home with us. She was adament she was going home with Randy and Katie. She called him for the next three days asking to come over. I wasn't sure if I should be happy that she loves her uncle and wants to spend time with him or be sad that she was upset she had to come home with us.

Peyton spent the day running around the kid area with his friends, playing on the rides and eating ice cream. It doesn't get any better than that.
