Max's Trike-A-Thon

Max's school held a Trike-A-Thon today to support St. Jude's Children's Hospital. They did a great job of setting up a mini town for them to drive through. There was a church, a hospital, a school and a garbage dump(? it was actually the dumpster in the corner of the parking lot. haha). The kids did a great job of following the course and obeying the traffic signs. It also gave them a chance to teach bike safety. There were a couple police officers there to talk about wearing helmets and how to ride a bike safely. It was a really fun activity for the kids. These teachers really work hard to do some special things for the kids. The director of the school even goes out and wipes the dew off the playground most mornings so that it will be dry for the kids to play! Incredible!

It took Max a few laps around the course before he remembered to stop at the stop sign.

I think we're really turning a corner here!

Traffic Jam!

Much better than the one here. All they did was race around the gym. Boring!
