We celebrated Nate's birthday this past weekend with our first ever trip to
Canterbury Park. It was a fun night, despite losing $22 and the cancellation of the last 2 races due to rain.
We seemed to be pretty good at picking 3rd or 4th place 'winners,' which doesn't get you much. The highlight of the night was an equine escape act that occurred prior to one of the races. The starting gates were on the opposite side of us, and an uncooperative horse ran backwards from the gate all the way around and past the cheering crowd before being caught and subdued by the man on horseback who chased him.
Nate was obviously thrilled to receive some gummi bears. He also got some fancy golf shoes to wear when he golfs twice a year. Oh yeah, and gum - 2 kinds!
A motley assortment of ruffians scarf down some birthday cake on our deck. These people often come by expecting to be fed.
