Last weekend we took the girls to their first sporting event - a polo match! It was a charity event at a local plantation in South Carolina and was Matthew and I's first time watching polo too. Good thing they had a rule book to help us figure out the game! It rained just as we arrived but we were able to wait in the car until the sun came out.
The players seemed pretty good and the final score was 9 to 11 with the away team winning. The entire match only took about an hour.
The girls mostly slept through the whole thing! Here is Leonie in her cute dress from Aunt Emily.
And Elsie. It was very sunny so we kept them in the car seats that have a sun shade.
The blue team making a hit.
During half time the crowd goes onto the field to stomp in all of the divots that the horses made in the grass. A polo tradition! They also had a contest for the fanciest hat and the best "tailgate" (people set up tents along the field).
Leonie and I with one of the players in the background. They moved too fast for us to get a photo with both girls and horses!
