What a Derby!
We went to a Derby party at our good friends house. We had 14 kids and 12 adults and I don't know who had more fun! The adults had food, drinks (Bourbon Slush), betting on races and corn hole games and the kids had food, bike riding and swimming even though it was cool here today -- I think the high hit 60! We knew that the only way we'd get them to be quiet about going swimming is to just let them get in and see for themselves how cold it was. The pool water was 69 and Liv said it was cold. Sophia was the last one out. I had to make her get out. I do have a few pictures of that but I will have to edit them tomorrow er later today and hopefully get them posted soon. Unfortunately the swimming is all I have pictures of. I was in charge of the desserts as it was told to me this week that my desserts are the only reason they keep me in the group. LOL I made Peanut Butter Balls which I got the recipe from this lovely lady. I also made a "Run for the Roses" pie, chocolate chip cookies and a queso dip. While we didn't bet the winner we came out with a little money -- we won one race and we did bet on the second place horse but boy do I wish I'd put $2 on that long shot horse that won!

ReplyDeleteMe too. I wish I had been able to place that 2 dollars and even a little more. I just want to tell you that my oldest granddaughter is adopted from Hunan Province. She was adopted when she was 9 1/2 months and now she is 6. My daughter's name is Kathy Castle and she went through A Helping Hand agency.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun, fun party for the kids and adults. Can't wait to see picture!
