Keenland!

Kentucky is a part of my heart, and always will be!  As well as Ohio, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Costa Rica.  Every time I hear those states, and country, I will always think of my 7 amazing MC classmates.  Even if they don't live there anymore. 

I've had the blessing to be able to visit Kentucky 4 times now since I moved home.  When I say blessed, I really can't describe HOW grateful I am to live SO close to three of my classmates home state and every time I've come home, I've been overwhelmed with God's great love for me to allow me to visit so often!  A few weekends ago I again had the opportunity to drive down there to visit.  One of my other sweet sisters was visiting from Arkansas so it was the perfect time to go!  Every time I go, I make new memories I cherish dearly!  And this time I captured some of them with my camera!  These girls are a lot of the reason I wanted to start taking pictures.  Both of them have DSLR cameras and I had played with them a few times and wanted to learn more! 

We spent a day at a conference and visiting old friends, and the next day, we went to horse races!  This was first for me!  And it was incredible!  Though a bit cold, we had a wonderful time! 

Some of these I edited, some I didn't.  Enjoy the beautiful fall colors and amazing horses!





Isn't she just the cutest???  I think so :)

First race! 



The winner!



Chili dogs, homemade potato chips, and hot chocolate among the yummyness we had!








The giant bored was awesome!








Beautiful!

He fits right in! 
I enjoyed taking pictures of interesting people there.  I had to capture my fellow Nikon user!

Sadly, I didn't have my camera ready in time so these were over exposed




Trying to capture the emotion in that place




Lovely fall colors!
