Happy Birthday Maeby

This year Maeby's birthday fell on Melbourne Cup day so we decided to go to a nearby country race in a town called Corowa. Its about 1/2 east up the Murray river. The day before the race it was sunny and blazing hot, then overnight the temperature dropped and the wind started blowing and it rained. So the cool weather was quite unexpected, at least during the race it stayed dry.








Down at the mounting yards, watching the horses prepare to race. Here you could get up real close and see the horses and their handlers. The kids liked this a lot.

The races were actually fun to watch, the horses ran by so fast and it was amazing to watch them. But even more amazing is what people were actually willing to wear out in public...holy $#!+. Check out some of these outfits.

Really Dude?! Really? Will pretended to take a photo of Spencer so he could capture this gem.


Looks like she just wore her slip, where did the dress go?

Check out the orange tie, black fedora and board shorts, this is style.
Nothing like watching high class ladies stumble in a drunken stupor through the lumpy grass in high heels and skirts.


Looks like she is taking some style cues from both Pocahontas and The Rockettes.

Later in the evening we celebrated Maebys 3rd birthday at home with a pink frosted Dora the Explorer Princess cake.

The boys were not content with wearing party hats on their heads.

She got all three on her first try, yeah Maeby!


Forget the silverware, lets just go for it.

Opening presents

Yeah a new princess bowl!
