Bike Rodeo

Last weekend we decided to check out the bike rodeo, hosted by the hospital in our neighborhood. Each child got a laminated "bike license", followed by a thorough "bike check-up" (tires pumped, seat tightened).Then they proceeded to the next station where the staff measured each little head to determine the appropriate sized bike helmet for each kiddo. Kayli was thrilled when they handed her a pretty pink bike helmet for FREE! Ohhh, it's a good day when you not only get a FREE bike helmet, but one that matches your outfit, AND... happens to be your favorite color! 

ok, just don't pinch my neck please...

oh yeah...

time to try out this bike course...

then, Kayli got her face painted like a puppy...

there were other fun activities like planting flowers, fishing for prizes, and even learning CPR!

we had a great "hotdog lunch" with chips and pop for only $1.00! Then, as we were headed for our car, we saw the clowns walking around and just had to take a picture with them...

Oh, and the other thing that happened on our way to the car was that a guy from our local newspaper stopped Kayli and asked her some questions about this event, then quoted her in the newspaper the next day! One of the quotes was about wearing bike helmets to stay safe. The other quote was about being lucky enough to get a pretty pink bike helmet that perfectly matched her outfit today! Too funny!
