The Pegasus Parade



We got there early, braved the crowds, found a great spot and enjoyed the parade. If the weather was a few degrees warmer and not windy it would have been perfect. Still, we had a great time. 

This was Eli's first parade so he didn't know quite what to expect, he jumped at the fire truck's beeps and only darted off twice. 


That's when he got on daddy's shoulders. 

This parade is the night before Oaks day at Churchill downs and the KY derby is Saturday. Oaks day is a grade I horse race that draws a lot of locals to the race track and might possibly have lower ticket prices (not positive about that one).

It was a fun evening to spend with friends (Eli's friend Lora in some pics above) followed by pizza for dinner.  

Here is the Pegasus balloon, Eli kept yelling "horse!" And saying "neigh" real cute!

Bagpipes!

There were lots and lots of horses!

It is fun to start new traditions in our "new" Kentucky home.
