The kids raced around the track all morning! Mollie ended up doing 75 laps this year. Allie did 25, several of them with a helper walking along to encourage her along. Lots of biking and lots of snacks along the way.
Part of the fun was a grasshopper. At one point all the kids were gathering around this grasshopper while Steve (Katie & Colin's dad, and friend), tried to catch it in a cup. He would get close and the grasshopper would jump and the kids would squeal in delight and surprise. I think this grasshopper knew what it was doing, leading the kids all over the place for several minutes. It finally got tired of the game (after getting caught once) and jumped over the fence. Back to riding!
