We went to a Steeplechase a couple of weeks ago and had a good time. In case you're wondering what steeplechasing is, it "includes the thrills and speed of Thoroughbred racing at flat tracks. It mixes in the precision of jumping to create a hybrid—like hurdle events in track and field—where the premium is on speed, but the concern is focused squarely on the jumps." (I took that from the website).
We stopped at a BBQ stand for lunch and discovered this sight...an old Pinto resurrected as a grill. Ha! Made some yummy food, though.
Audrey enjoyed a pony ride. It was one of those where the poor ponies look bored to death and walk in painfully s-l-o-w circles for what seems like hours. Audrey, however, must have thought it was quite exhilarating. As her little pony circled round to us at 1/2 mph for the 453rd time, she exclaimed with a huge grin on her face, "I'm going WILD!!!"
Also entertaining were the Jack Russell Terrier races. Those little guys don't mess around!
Lots of fun. Hope to catch it again next year.

no, there was a big puddle of motor oil covering up the rating. come to think of it, that looked just like the sauce they were pouring on the BBQ. Hmmm.
Uh....you weren't planning to bring barbecue as your contribution to Thanksgiving, were you? I think one of the "Life Lessons" I tried to teach you was to be careful about what you put in your mouth.....so don't be too hard on Audrey and her "bling".
