Trike-A-Thon

On Monday Mckenna's school had a trike-a-thon to raise money for St. Jude's Children's Hospital. Mckenna kept calling it a trikeathalon, which made me smile! The weather was cool compared to the 80 degree temps we have 2 days later!
She was very excited because she was riding her "new bike"...which is Baileigh's old bike but since Baileigh got a new bike this past weekend Mckenna has upgraded from her little bike to her big sister's bike and she is thrilled!
Nice form, huh! She was pretty serious about this and was focused...ever turn she leaned way into the corner and stayed as close to the cones as possible. She rode a total of 50 laps which was the highest girl in the class and the 3rd highest overall! I don't know where she gets her competitive spirit?!
Brooke had fun cheering on all the kids and saying "BIKES" at least 1,000 times.
Eventually the novelty of all the kids riding bikes wore off and Brooke decided to explore.
This post seemed like a good place to post a few pictures of Baileigh on her new bike...this is what she did with Daddy while I was away for the weekend. She is very proud of her bike...it looks so big but it was the next size up from the one she was outgrowing.

Your girls are looking so grown up...

There is a Mckenna in Ian's Beast's class at TLG right now and she reminds me SO much of Mckenna when I had her in class... seems like yesterday!

Love the Trike-a-thon idea!

Nice work, Mckenna. She and Ivan would make quite a pair! I love the picture of Brooke in the field... she reminds me of Laura Ingalls, running down the hill at the beginning of each show! Can't you just hear the music?!!!
