There is an awesome polo field right down the road from my office. We went to a match for the first time last year and had so much fun that it will now become an annual tradition for sure. The funny thing? I'm pretty certain I didn't see a minute of the match. Not even sure who was playing or who won. Most of it was spent sitting around talking, eating, drinking and trying to make sure we knew where our kids were and that preferably, they weren't about to get trampled by a horse. We made plans to go with friends of ours who have twins Alex's age and a daughter Avery's age. We all brought some food and booze and set up camp for the night...
And, as it turns out, half of the kids' school also thought it was a good night for polo - it was like being at daycare. The only thing missing was the teachers to watch our kids while we had fun. We'll have to think about that for next year...
And, of course, the favorite activity of the night - stomping divots at halftime (aka, attempt to keep track of your kids running around the field with 100 other people - all while also attempting to avoid stepping in horse poop). How cute are these pictures of Alex and David walking out to the field? This will definitely be used as blackmail in the future...
Once we got to the other end of the field, they had a couple of horses for the kids to pet. As you can imagine, Alex being our animal lover was thrilled...
