Twice in ONE year!!

Can you believe how lucky we are?!  The Drakes are back for a second time this year. On Sunday Steve picked them up from the airport and we did not waste much time.  This time of the year is one of my favorites in Spain.  There is so much going on, so much to see and do and the weather is hard to beat.  Sunday night we all loaded up the cars and drove into Sanlucar (the whole 15 minute drive) to the horse races on the beach.  

This year we knew what to expect so we brought our chairs, toys, drinks, snacks, and everything else you would need for an evening on the beach.

While waiting for the races, we played in the sand.....



Aydin and Liam placed their bets....

and watched the horses get ready for the race....


Race one:


As you can see... the beach is packed!!

AYDIN WON!!!  He paid 1 euro.... won 3!  Not too shabby.


More playing and waiting:



Race two:

After these two (and hanging out for a few hours) we decided to load up and head to the beach for dinner.  





Spaniards know how to grill the best fish ever!!



Not a bad way to start a vacation in Spain- you think??
