Trip to Lexington

December The above photo is a Christmas tree inside the Horse park museum. I'm having trouble figuring out how to type above my first picture. I don't usually have this problem so I don't know what the deal is. Fee free to share if you know the answer.

December was a great month for us. Chris had a light schedule and a vacation week in addition to four days around Christmas. For his week off we mostly just filled the days with appointments and spent time with the kids. I volunteered in Laura's class two of the days. She loves it when I come and I love it too. On Thursday after Laura's school party we went to Lexington Kentucky to visit friends there. They lived in Hershey when we did and now they are doing a residency in Ophthalmology there. It turns out the Lexington is the horse capital of the world. Chris and I questioned that when we saw it on their website but we learned that they don't mess around when it comes to Horse racing. To get our Lexington experience we went and saw the Lexington Horse Park. We had a lot of fun and we brought along our friends daughter which kept the kids entertained much longer then they would have had she not been there.

This is Steven petting a really tall retired race horse.
Aaron loved the horses but what he really loved the most was the cat that was running around the barn. He chased all around and growled at it, poor cat.
You can't tell very well from this picture but this is steven kissing the pony. He even convinced Londyn to kiss the pony too unfortunately the camera missed that moment. There was no convincing Laura that that was good idea.
Couldn't miss a photo shoot on this ginormous chairs.
The kids are enjoying a snow storm in the kitchen created by stuffing.

1. The snow storm wasn't all Bryn had up her sleeve to entertain these kids. She had them make puppets and then they put on a puppet show. After the kids were in bed we played a few games of Settlers. It was overall a great trip, great fun, great food and great company.
