Run For The Roses

Last weekend, Erin and her mom, Meredith watched the movie about the award winning horse "Secretariat". After the movie, while Erin Skyped with me, she played "Secretariat" with baby brother Everett. Here is Erin in the role of the trainer and Everett in the role of the horse.

The trainer places the horse in position and yells "Go!"

And he's off!

The "horse" appears to have stumbled but quickly gets back into the race!

The "Winner" and new Champion...Everett!

Wonderful fun for everyone!

I'll close this post with lyrics from Dan Fogelberg's "Run For The Roses"

"And it's run for the roses

As fast as you can

Your fate is delivered

Your moment's at hand

It's the chance of a lifetime

In a lifetime of chance

And it's high time you joined in the dance"
