Wheel-a-thon 2012

Tuesday was the Wheel-a-thon, which is a fundraising deal for the K-6 grades. (or the PAT?) Anyway, the kids get sponsored and set a price for every mile that they ride their bikes, and the K-2 grades can ride up to 8 miles, and the 3-6 graders can ride up to 16 miles.
I wasn't able to be there, so I stole these two photos from Janille. ☺ Ella had school that morning and then I took Ella and Britton over to Baker Hall where we helped put together the lunch that was for the riders and volunteers after the bike riding was all over.
Grades K-6.
Aidan said he only rode 6 miles but it turned out he rode the whole 8 miles! I was impressed since I wasn't sure how far he would actually make it on a bike with training wheels and all that.
After lunch was over we ended up spending the rest of the afternoon at the Baker school playground. The kids were having so much fun playing with Megan, Kayli, Caleb and Alyshia.
 This was after we got back home and he wanted to make sure I got a picture of the marks on his hand.
They make a mark on the hand for every mile they ride, and Aidan only had 6 marks which is why he thought he only rode 6 miles. ☺ He just apparently forgot to get his hand marked a couple of times.

8 miles! That's major! Tell him I'm so proud! Love the pics of his hand.
