Trike-A-Thon!

This week at preschool Sophie participated in a Trike-A-Thon to benefit St. Jude's Children's Hospital. The event was during her regular weekly PE time and so they also learned about biking safety. The ride was originally scheduled for last week, but was canceled due to rain. This week was beautiful & a great day for a ride!

We were supposed to help the kids decorate their bikes/trikes at home. Sophie wanted to ride her little pink & purple tricycle. Jeff had the great idea to plant flowers in the little basket on the back! Sophie & I decorated the bike with Leis (left over from a birthday party) and I helped her make a sign with her name on it, which she decorated with stickers. 

Here is last week's bike...Jeff mainly used flowers growing in our yard because we forgot about the race until the night before (ooops!)

Since we had to wait a week, the flowers didn't last so Jeff brought home some new flowers...

(The bike did get left out in the rain for a few minutes, so her name washed off the sign, but it was salvagable...so we just wrote right over it & it had a fuzzy, halo effect!)

Looks pretty good, huh!

Get ready, get set, GO!

And they were off! 

Sophie really was not concerned about getting anywhere fast. 

I think she was just happy to look pretty on her bike (and have the cutest trike out there!)

Darcy was Sophie's biggest fan!

Drew also was cheering Sophie on from the sidelines!

Great job Sophie!
