a fascination of all things Derby...

Josh went down to Churchill Downs this weekend and took several pictures of the Gallopalooza horses. I knew that you would be as fascinated with them as we are so I decided to share. The horses will leave the Downs today and go to their respective temporary homes. From this point forward, derby visitors (and locals) will get gallopalooza maps and go on a kind of scavenger hunt, trying to find each of the horses.

This was one of Josh's favorites. A gigantic gumball machine.


Who wouldn't want a pretty pink pony?

I think I might like the gumball machine best, too, but the art is amazing. Your nephew did a great job! Derby days ahead! Love, Annette
