Where the Turf Meets the Surf

Since we are never in San Diego in August it has been quite a while since we have made it to the Del Mar horse races.  They have family weekends with bounce houses and lots of kid friendly activities so we made a day of it.  We left the stroller at home since we thought it would be more of a pain but wished we had it almost immediately.  We walked a long way to actually get in and then another long haul to the kid section and realized why all the other families had strollers..next time!

Once we made it in the kids headed straight for the bounce houses.  There were also many kid games set up and they had a blast!

 

Hula Hooping!

 The kids both decided it was way more fun to jump from the top than to slide down.  I saw some other parents cringing as Abby and Zack launched themselves from the top but they were loving it!

 Abby couldn't pass up an opportunity to be a "big" kid.  She played tug-o-war and they won.  I overheard a mom say, "wow, look at the little one- she's tough!"  That's my Abby!

 She also loved the parachute once she figured out what everyone was doing running in and out.

And, the Horses!

It was a fun day but we'll wait for next year to head back.  I am still tired form hauling the kids!
