working the oaks

this was eddie this morning at 5:40am.
he was all suited up for his day at the Oaks.
and tomorrow he will be at the Derby.

on oaks day you wear pink to support breast cancer.
tomorrow he is wearing a berry colored shirt
with a coordinating tie.

what a great experience for him.
he has been interning at Churchill
since last august, working towards this weekend.
wonder what he does? me too!
kidding, i sort of know.

he works in the sports marketing dept.
specifically, doing sponsorships....
which is something he wants to do for his "real" job.
today and tomorrow he is making sure
that his clients needs are met
giving them private tours of the facility
not sure what else...
but i will ask him when he gets home.

emi and i are so proud of your accomplishments!!
every goal you set for yourself, you always exceed.
good job eddie on all your hard work.
we love you!!

**update
here are some pictures eddie took during the Oaks race

before the races started
directly behind him is the winner's circle
where the winning horse is "crowned"
the winning trophy.
on a side note....
he was gone from 5:45am and came home after 8pm
he also came home with at least 3 blisters on each foot.
tomorrow is suppose to be just as long
but he is wearing different shoes
more comfortable ones i hope.
