A Morning at the Track
Another amazing part of having Saratoga Springs in our backyard; The morning backstretch tour of Saratoga Race Track. After breakfast on The Porch in the clubhouse or just to line up for the tram the entire morning experience is enlivening!
First, we watched this horse get a new pair of shoes.
Then, a view of the warm up track and to the stalls (some pictured here).
Every worker walking the grounds is a professional at their task. And the other professionals, the horses, were busy working on warm ups, cool downs, morning meals, and resting with their pets (their companions at their stalls).
The children enjoyed the walk and watching the horses (especially watching a loose horse gallop past)! Mommy and Daddy and friends enjoyed learning about the horses and history and being a part of the morning community of the backstretch!
It's fall and we are back in the swing of things in Saratoga County which means an unlimited supply of free events for the family and children each weekend. Last weekend the town community day offered food, fun, and a display of the local services and community groups at a neighborhood park. Daddy took Rowan and Evangeline to this event. The fireman still are an amazing site for Rowan and he treasures every time with them.
Two weeks ago Mommy took Rowan and Evangeline to the local tech park for electronics recycling and technology fun. Mommy was excited for the electronics recycling and the children were excited for the hands on fun. Before we even entered the amazing tech campus building the children were taken by the windmills for wind energy. One of the highlights inside the event was the demonstration by our high school robotics team. Rowan loved the robot and its skills. His face says it all.
