We love it when family comes to town because we get to do all of the tourist-y things and it always feels like we are on a vacation in our own city. So, when my mom, dad, sister and brother came to visit we were off to hit all the major sites.
First stop: Churchill Downs
We didn't realize that there weren't any live races going on that day, but you can't come to Louisville and not go to see Churchill Downs so we went anyway to show that fam the track.
This picture cracks me up. Erik and Ella re-inacting the Barbaro statue.
Next stop: The Louisville Slugger Bat Museum.
Me taking a picture of Lyndsie taking a picture of my family. For those of you who have been to the museum know how hard it is to get a picture that contains most of the bat in it. It stands 120 ft in height and is 9 ft in diameter!

Ella and auntie Lyndsie.
Stop three: The Kentucky State Fair
We've lived in KY for 3 years now and have never gone to the KSF. We hear all about it, but have never made it down. We decided that this would be the year! I was hoping to give my family a good taste of what KY is really like; you know mullets, missing teeth, that sort of thing but people there were surprisingly normal and it was a little disappointing but fun none the less.
I know you are probably wondering what this is. Well my friends, it is a deep fried snickers. Yes, that's right. Here in KY you can get a deep fried snickers. We had to try it.
The best part of the day, the free MC Hammer concert. The man has some serious dance moves. I was so impressed. I couldn't understand a word he was saying, but my goal in life now is to become an MC Hammer back-up dancer. They were so good. It was truly entertaining! That night we came home and started practicing our dance moves in the kitchen.
Brad, Lyndsie, Erik and half of me before the concert got started.

It looks like you had a great time. As far as I am concerned chocolate and fried foods are the two best things in the world. I would love to try them together! It looks like we will have to be visiting KY soon.
