A Day at the Races!

Today we got an early start. We met for breakfast in the College dining hall then headed out for a day at Churchill Downs! It was very hot and sunny out! Perfect for spending the day outside!
We started the day in the Kentucky Derby Museum. We got to look around a little then we went on a tour of the backside of the racetrack where the stables are located.

Many fancy Derby hats were on display in the museum.

After the backside tour we watched a few races and had lunch at the Churchill Downs Cafe.

Today we all had a lot of fun at Churchill Downs with only a few minor sunburns! We finished the day off with dinner at Olive Garden. We are all tired and ready for a good nights sleep! We will be up early for another day in the Child Development Lab at Berea giving hearing screenings!
 
Goodnight!!
