Thanksgiving break in Kentucky

Nick and Jen Tobler invited us to join them and the rest of the Roberts in Louisville for Thanksgiving break.  We accepted the invite and had such a fun time with their family.  We drove down the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and headed back Saturday at halftime of the BYU game.  

The girls loved getting to know their great Aunt Trudy.  They kept mistaking her for Grandma Nae Nae and when she gave them a piece of candy, they even made her hide it their shoes like Nae Nae does. Ha!
 The kids all played outside for a long time while we were getting dinner ready.  Lucy and Cooper rode around on the little truck for a while and Lucy loved it.
 Before we got there, they all made this cool homemade lego mold out of silicone so that the kids could all make treats out of them. 
 The adults got the prep work done the night before using jello and I don't know what else.
 We went to some horse races at Churchill Downs the day after Thanksgiving and it was super cool to see!  This hat I am wearing in the store there was $200!  Not surprised though.
 We played games most nights after the kids were in bed and ate way too much candy!
 The whole group at the horse races!
 Pointing to the infamous Secretariat's plaque.
 One afternoon Ryan was out cold on the couch and Claire just quietly went over and snuggled in on top of him and sucked her thumb.  She did turn and smile for the picture though.  It was so cute and Ryan didn't even know she was there!
 The kids all got their own little containers to put their lego gummies in, which made it even more special.
 Here's the final product- they really were like real legos that you could stack up and play with! And they actually tasted good, too.
 Claire loved Sydney and would just go plop herself right on down in her lap.
