Horsetrack Fun
Ask Jackson what a horse says, and he’ll tell you. He makes
me laugh. He’s way too cute. He’s been to Canterbury twice in his young life
and loves watching the horses and the tractors spray down and till the dirt
after each race, and he loves watching and playing with all the kids. And of
course, his favorite thing in the world – he gets to be outside.

I figured out a system by my second trip to the track so I
was actually able to enjoy a beer or two. It helps meeting a good friend (Hoover!) and
having a helpful brother! And thanks to our brewery tour last weekend, I
enjoyed a Summit. Ahhh. Minnesota beer. My older brother spoiled me for my
birthday and bought my ticket in and my beer. Win-Win for all. Karl was on call
and had a slew of patients to attend to. Boo. At least he was able to
experience Jackson’s love for horses the first time we went to the track.

I turned 34! How am I in my 30s? I can’t even comprehend
this. I had a great birthday. The sun was SHINING. F-I-N-A-L-L-Y. I swear I
feel like we live in London. It was sunnier in Seattle when Karl and I visited.
This spring has been so depressing. But my bday came and the sun was out. I saw
the darker clouds coming so maybe it was a good thing we were up at 5:00 a.m.
So we had a delicious breakfast and went on a walk. Then headed to the park
where Karl got paged. Boo. We headed back so Jackson could go down for his
morning nap and Karl could get ready. I quickly escaped and ran 2.5 miles. It
felt SO good. Sun on my face, music in my ears, fresh air filling my lungs.
It’s been awhile since I ran by myself and it was just what I needed. I quickly
hopped in the shower and Jackson was up!

Karl and Jackson made me a special
birthday cake bread. Get this: banana, zucchini, carrot, coconut, almond, oats
and oat flour birthday bread. Can I say it was excellent? It really was. They
sang to me and Karl was off working the rest of the day.

Jackson and I played. We mowed the grass. Ha. We walked
more. And then we went to the horsetrack. I was WIPED by the end of the day,
but overall…GREAT birthday!
