First Steeplechase



Steeplechase: the women wear big hats and cute dresses while the men drink a lot and bet on which horse will break the bank.


The babies do it all at Steeplechase.





Canaan wore a big hat, along with her Aunt Cassie and her mother. As well as an extremely cute dress.







Next, it was time to decide on which horse was going to be the money-maker.



Canaan had a feeling about this one.






Much to her chagrin, Canaan soon realized that this horse was actually a small pony that just hung out in someones tent. The real money-makers were 29 times that size. Quickly, Canaan placed her bet on number 7.


"Go, horse, go! Mama needs a new hat!!"


Just kidding. We didn't bet on any horses. That wasn't in the Dave Ramsey Budget.



Canaan did, however, finish the day with a nice, stiff drink.
So as you can see, Steeplechase often ends in nakedness--after a long, hot day in the sun, everyone saying how cute you are, trying to get a feel for the winning horse, and downing a couple sippy cups, who wouldn't want to celebrate their first Steeplechase with a little bit of nakedness? (Andre, don't look...)
