Bike-A-Thon

Every year the girls' school does a bike-a-thon fundraiser.  It is so much fun.  The toddlers, since many can't actually ride bikes, just play on their tricylces in a sectioned off portion of the parking lot.  The other kiddos make loops around the school in 45 minute rotations.  There is a "rest stop" with bananas and water and we even had a "toll both" this year where the kids could donate pennies.  It was really cute and Keeley was so excited about riding her bike and getting to ride around the school.

Kelly took the day off and we both helped out around the school that day and then ended it with a pizza picnic with all the other families.  So much fun!  It was a bit of a chilly morning so you'll notice in a couple pictures the girls look a little cold!

Keeley posing for me.  All the kids were standing outside for a ribbon cutting with the mayor and singing of the national anthem.  Too cute.

Kayden watching some of the big kids.  Look how giant her shirt is!

Holding her teacher's hand and checking everyone out.  She seemed a little overwhelmed.

Getting ready for the ride.  Keeley was in the "red" group so she got to ride first.

Big smiles.  She told me the day before that she was going to "ride super fast" and she did!

Slowed down for a second to wave.

Getting ready for her "ride".

Riding along next to her best friend, Lily.

Getting a little push from Daddy.  As strong as she is, she doesn't really care to put forth the effort to actually pedal.

On a "train ride". The upper el kids took the primary kids on a train ride and then they got to go to a festival game section.  So much fun.  The girls ended the day VERY tired!
