Trike-a-thon

A few weeks ago I mentioned the Trike-a-thon. This was a charity event organized by Will's teachers at school, and almost all if not all the kids in his preschool class (as well as a few from the toddler and infant rooms) participated. Will was very excited about this for weeks leading up to the event. He even got to get a new helmet (Lightning McQueen helmet, to match his Lightning bike and Lightning sunglasses), and happily wore it whenever he rode his bike prior to the event.

Erin took both kids to the event and took lots of pictures, which mostly tell the story here. After learning all about bike-riding-in-the-street rules and strapping on their helmets, all the excited kids mounted their bikes.

And they're off! Even though it wasn't a race, I'm sure Will treated it as one.

Hallie was a happy spectator and was at first content to watch all the other kids, but eventually she wanted to get in on the fun. So her brother gave her a ride.

Here's Will racing around the turn, he's so fast!
