Aunt Mary Anne sprung for stylish hats for the kiddos at a gas station pit stop. Jonathan wanted pink like Ella but was talked into the black hat instead and the clerk told him he looked like a "short Tim McGraw" which was all he needed to hear to keep the hat on for the day! Ella was quite stylish in her brown cord jumper which had red horseshoes sewn on it. She got lots of compliments.
We didn't do so well with betting. Jonathan won one race and walked away 20 whole cents the richer. The girls won a three dollar prize on one race. Uncle Doug didn't do well at all and the kids soon learned to bet the opposite of what he picked. He also paid for their bets and they kept the winnings so poor Uncle Doug didn't do so well.
We stayed overnight in a great suite at the Marriot and had fun in the pool after our day at the track.
