Trike-a-Thon

Monday was Justin's Trike-a-Thon for St. Jude's at school. Every year they do a fund raiser to teach the children about helping others. The Trike a Thon was such a big hit last year that they decided to do it again this year. Now, Justin LOVES his Trike. But we have been trying to encourage him to ride Jessica's old bike instead. So we brought his trike, his bike, and both of his scooters. There were 3 different stations. The first one was an obstacle course on their bikes, they had a few obstacles including one where they have to stop at a driveway and see if the car was parked or moving. Justin did it on his bike and did very well.

The next station was an obstacle course on their feet. They had to jump through hoops...

Jump over hurdles...

And throw a Frisbee (hee hee what's wrong Karen? did you think he was going to throw it at your head?)

At the third station they need to do laps around a circle. Many of the children raised their pledges by the number of laps they accomplished. Most of the children did 15+ laps, some even did over 20. BUT after 6 laps Justin got SO TIRED, so we switched him to his scooter thinking that might be easier. After 2 more laps he was still SO TIRED...

We finally convinced him to do 2 more laps on his feet, bringing him to 10 laps!

He had a great time and talked about it all day. Now that we know he only did 10 laps, anyone interested in sponsoring him?
