Horse Races

Justin & I took Carter to the chariot horse races for the first time on Saturday while Justin's mom watched Tenley. Carter LOVED it!! He has always kind of been afraid of horses {because he is never around them} but when he watched them race he thought that was the coolest thing ever. They even had a few [foot races] for the kids & surprisingly Carter followed one of his little friends out there & actually did it! Smiling the whole time -even though he took dead last because he didn't even know what he was out there to do- :)!!!My cousins husband Heath races- so Mandy walked us over to the trailer so that Carter could get in the chariot with Rayson, he was a little unsure at first but once he realised what he was standing in he thought it was awesome "to be racing like Heath"...When we very first got there we tried to get Carter to sit on a horse & there was no way he was doing it. But when we were getting in the truck to leave a lady came up & asked Carter if he wanted a ride. We had to force him on at first , then of course he loved it!!! Now he has to tell everyone about "Rayson's dad racing horses & that he rode on a horse for the first time!" He found a bunch of boys to hang around with & do boy stuff - he didn't want to leave...Horse races were an every weekend thing when I was growing up to watch my grandpa & I loved them! We will for sure be hitting all the horse races now.
