A steeplechase to remember...

Marc wrote the last blog post when I was in Seattle visiting my Uncle Rocky.  My dear uncle passed away a week ago and he couldn't be more missed!  He was the best Uncle and biggest cheerleader!!  He has meant so much to me in my life and has been such a huge influence on me...we love you and miss you uncle Rocky!!!  
He was a reader of this little blog so we will always think of him when posting pics of our family.  Here are some pictures of us just for you...
THE HORSE RACES
This is an event that I told my Uncle Rocky about and we laughed that next year I needed to get a HUGE hat to wear to it!  This is the typical southern event where most ladies wear cute sundresses and big hats while the guys pull out the seersucker suits. :) It was a great time with lots of fun people watching and some fun steeplechase races to watch! Isaac brought his "rose bowl horse" from Uncle Jon.
We went with some sweet friends that have 2 girls so our girls were having a great time exploring with them!
So sweet!

It was a beautiful day and the horses were so fun to watch!

The kids had a blast!

An event with funnel cake...yes, please!
After funnel cake, what is better than shaved ice!?
....and then riding down slides!

There was tons of tailgating...look at the one that won first place for best theme....a pirate ship!

They even had games that the kids LOVED...although Ava may not look like it at this exact moment.  They had prizes too!  Seriously, this was the best event EVER! :)

It was a super fun day with our friends & sweet kiddos!

Check back for more Shafer fun...
