When we moved from Kentucky we knew we wanted to find ways to remember our time and connection to that wonderful state so we decided every year we would have a Kentucky Derby party. This was our first Derby party since we moved and it was SO FUN!!
The girls invited 2 friends each and we started by making stick horses... 
Then we raced the horses...
Then we made Derby hats...
(Notice the Cardinal... I miss those beautiful birds flying around our backyard.)
Finally we drew names of horses and sat down to eat our derby pie and watch the race. There was a prize for the girl whose horse won.

I feel so blessed to have spent 3 years there. Those years changed our family in a profound way. Kentucky will always have a special place in our memories and in our hearts (sniff, sniff).
