The Second Annual Jax Classic

We got back from Florida on Saturday, just in time for the Second Annual Jax Classic on Sunday!  Pictures from last year's First Annual Jax Classic are here.  This year was a little different from last year.  Because of the oppressive heat (apparently it isn't just miserable for pregnant ladies) they moved the races for the entire weekend to night races.  While I usually love night racing, this created an interesting situation since the main guest for the night has a 6:30 bedtime!  Luckily I was able to get Jax down for his afternoon nap a little later than usual and he was able to stay up late enough for the race.  We had a great time, and of course I took a couple of pictures. :)

Trying to decide which ponies were looking good. 

It was interesting to have a mobile little man this year, he kept us on the move!

We had a great view of the track from our seats.

Jax was much more interested in the trophy this year.  

I was afraid he wasn't going to want to give it away to the winner!

Family picture.  :)

Jax gets his love of hats from his Papa Bear I think.

I find myself loving all pictures of Jax's curls.  

Probably because I know they probably won't be there forever.  They are just precious.

We took this picture last year.  Glad Jax was able to stay awake for the race this time!

On the track last year. 

And they were off!

Jax was very happy for the horse that won.  He even clapped for them. 

Here was the winner!

The jockey for the winning horse gave Jax her goggles which I thought was really sweet. 

Like last year, we weren't able to get next to the horse for liability reasons, which a family full of lawyers completely understands.  So this is as close as Jax was able to get. 

Here is a picture from the trophy presentation. 

We were able to have a great time even if it was a million degrees outside and the Second Annual Jax Classic was a big success.  Now we have to figure out what we are going to do next year when we have two little guys!
