So, In case you didn't know, Louisville is a CrAzY place during the Kentucky Derby Festival. With events, from Thunder over Louisville to the Chow Wagon to Festaville to Balloon glows and races, it's constantly hopping around here for 2 weeks. Also, gas prices of $3.20 are found throughout the city. We only went to a few of those events. Our good friends, Ashley and Ricky, came in town for Thunder - their trip had been planned for about a year since I called Ashley after Thunder last year to tell her she HAD to come in town for it! Even though they moved to MO in January, they still found time in their busy schedule to drive 8 hours for an air show and fancy firework show in a weekend. We are thankful for good friends! Seeing as though the Derby is tomorrow, I decided to drive on down to our local (or one of them) Kroger to see the "rose blanket" ( I don't know the correct word for it) that they put on the winner of the Derby. It was a beautiful thing to see, covered with hundreds of roses and greenery. I have some pictures of it but can't seem to get them to upload to Brandon's computer. I will have him help me upload them and then I will put them on here.
Have a great weekend and I hope you enjoy my pictures from the last 2 weeks!!
My "dirty" husband....he got a good suntan since he and Ricky left home around 9am that day just to save us seats!
One of my best friends, Leigh, and yes, we were wearing matching shirts - except at this point, mine had mustard on it! Arg!
Another friend, Cheryl - she is the one that has Abby, the golden retriever that Cooper used to play with alot. Cheryl is pregnant and due this summer!! Yay!!
I have a video of the firework finale, but I am not sure how to post it! Or even if I can!??!?
