It's Post Time!! Can you hear the trumpets? When was the last time you went to the horse races? For us, it had been about 4 years! When I heard that the horses were back at Portland Meadows I really wanted to go. As I looked into it, I saw that Sundays at the track were family day, and I was totally in! You would be surprised at what a family affair good old fashioned horse betting can be! (Insert Parent of the Year Award here :) On Sundays from 1pm-5pm Portland Meadows has live horse racing, coloring contest, balloon animals, junk food, and lots of playtime outside waiting for post time. Our kids had a great time! We let them pick a name for us to bet on, so they could be involved, and they thought that was fun. As for our luck, we won some, we lost some, but we lost more than we won. Papa's Flying Angel was Mama's big winner of the day, and it was a pretty fun day. I would totally recommend taking the kids if you get the chance. After all, everywhere you go you pay for the entertainment, and often have nothing to show for it. At least at Portland Meadows you have the opportunity to have "lady luck" pay you a visit. Example: We spent $50 to go to The Oregon Zoo on Saturday, and didn't have squat to show for it either! LOL!
