Our friend (she is from Long Island but has lived in Wimbledon for 11 years) called this morning to ask who our horses were. Well... I had no idea what she was talking about! She proceeded to inform us of the biggest day of the year in England... The Grand National. So 30 horses race four miles during which they jump over 30 hedges. Only 15 of the horses even finished (which supposedly is quite good). Anyway we all chose a horse and cheered them on! It was super fun. This is a picture of the home stretch and Makenna's horse (the white one), King John's Castle, is trying to win... he ended up finishing second!
