In their own words, the Schneiders are "horsey people." They were born with, and cultivated, the equestrian gene. Add that to our proximity to Kentucky, and the Derby is a pretty big deal in these parts. The Schneider Family Derby Party never disappoints. This year we ventured out to Aunt Paula & Uncle Mark's gorgeous (bucolic-defined) home to drink mint julips, wear fancy hats, place our bets, scream "go! go! gooooo!" at the TV, and eat giant derby cookies. There were two added bonuses this year - the positively perfect backyard to run around, chase butterflies, swing on a tire swing and launch rockets plus a trip to visit the girls' horse "cousins" at the barn just down the way. (They'll be taking up residency soon in the backyard barn you'll see pictured below.) I told Paula & Mark that they could sell the use of their property for an hourly rate for photo sessions. You'll see why in a second...

The girls are already talking about next year....but we can guarantee it won't take another horse race to get us out to Aunt Paula's house.
