oaks

Oaks was a blast!!!!! For being pregnant and not having a sip of any alcohol I still had a total blast. Huh, fun with no hangover. Something to think about. The babysitter and the Shuman kids arrived promptly at 9:30. Av was so excited she had been standing at the window since 9 waiting on them to arrive. The kids were all in a great mood and Camille even let Heidi hold her before we left. We left to go to Marci and Brent’s house to “pre-game.” They had mimosas and bloody mary’s and some breakfast. A bunch of people ended up coming and we hung out there for a bit. A limo came to pick us up around 11. hehehe That was a surprise until the night before. Marci and Brent are friends with this couple that is very well off. They got our tickets for us and came in their limo to pick us up. So fun! Off we went. We were dropped off right at the front gate and told the limo would be waiting for us when we were done. The weather was perfect! The girls and I found a mojito maker guy that made them fresh fruit mojito’s and me a virgin one. So nice, felt like I was enjoying a yummy drink. We had 2 of those before we even made it to our seats. Once we got to our seats we started betting. The first race we were able to bet on there was a horse named Lou something running in it. I told John to for sure bet on it (Avery Lou). He placed 2 different bets on it and we won them both. Started the day off nicely. We won on most of the races. We will not be quitting our jobs or anything but it still made the day a lot more fun. Brento came out about half way through the day. So funny. Marci knew and was worried but we all thought it was funny. She had right to be worried. He started vomiting during the last race and all through the limo ride home. Since the limo picked us up right in front we sat in a lot of traffic. That was a lot of vomiting time for Brento. We had a lot of fun in the limo making fun of him as did the cars around us. Had to be very entertaining for them as well. When we got home the kids were waiting outside for us. All in their matching PJ’s. They had a great day but I think Camille was a little out of sorts. She would not let me put her down for the rest of the night (she had taken a very long nap so was up till 10). It was nice to have the attention from her though. I soaked it all up.
