Full Weekend

We started our weekend activities early with a Mariners came on Thursday night. We were lucky enough to be the recipients of free tickets, so we gladly accepted and enjoyed a fun night at the game!Shane's brother and sister came over from Moscow for the weekend. It was the opening weekend for Emerald Downs, which is the home of Seattle's horse races. Shane was the only one who had been here before, so this was a new and fun experience for the rest of us!

Here they are coming around the corner, almost to the finish line.Yikes.... it's going to be a close one! And of course.... my favorite part of the whole event! John Deer tractors, smoothing out the track after each race!
The gang. Jed, me, Kara, and Shane. The wind made it kind of chilly, so we have piled on coats and vests. The boys had a blast betting on the horse. Can you guess who came out ahead? Ha, neither one! They didn't prove to be very good horse judges!
These were good times! We will definitely be going back for more races!
