    1. Okay, so I missed the part of mentioning what my favorite part of a derby would be...since I have never been to one, I really don't know. I can say I like making Derby pie. Does that count?

  6. I LOVE the Derby! I live in Louisville, and I love how excited everybody is the two weeks before Derby. There are so many fun events going on in town right now- parades, races, balloon glows- and the excitement is contagious! :-)

    Plus, any reason to wear a fancy hat is a good event in my book!

  12. Kentucky Girl here!! I love all the activities leading up to the Derby. I don't actually go to many of them but I love them all. I guess the balloon race and making Derby hats with my kiddos are my favorite things during this time. Several of the kids have been to the events too:)

  13. I live in the frozen tundra...so the Derby is quite foreign to me! We're more about snowmobiles and ice houses - lol!

I love to learn about new things and the Derby would be a most interesting subject to learn about!!! :) lori.heydt@gmail.com

  26. Hats! and horses. Plus I love the clipart and activities in your units.
    I live in Maryland and grew up near horses (and a race track) but my current school isn't. When we went on a fieldtrip with a long bus ride recently, my kinders were gaga over the farms and horses.

  45. I love the moment the horses are in the starting gate! It's the moment you still believe you have the winner and then to find out your horse finished in last. I have been to the derby ( what a blast) and to the Preakness. I still have to go to Belmont to finish my triple crown!

  46. I love my sister-in-law dearly! She loves horses dearly! She loves the derby and each year her mini horses are in the Pegasus Parade! The derby means so much to me because I love my sister-in-law and am thrilled that she gets to do something that means so much to her and brings so much joy to her heart. The things that matter the most to me are the things that matter the most to the people I love. That's what brings joy to my heart. :)
