Here is our photo gallery of our postcards!
I mentioned before that the kids and I thought it would be really cool to have 49 different postcards for each of our 49 postcard exchange partners. Emma also thought it would be awesome to put pictures of each on our blog. She was right! We ended up with a few extras.
You might ask, "What's up with all the horses?" Kentucky is the home of the Kentucky Derby Horse Race which has been run every year since 1875. It is one of the top three races in the country and part of the Triple Crown (which was last won by a Kentuckian, Steve Cauthen). We take great pride in the quality and beauty of the horses we raise in the state. Personally, I just look at them as we drive by the horse farms though.
