Bike Race

A couple of weeks ago there was a little Spring Fest

in our area, that had crafts, kids activities, etc.  One of the activities

was a bike race for the kids.  We asked Greta if she wanted to do it, with her 

fancy new bike and everything, and she seemed excited.  I know she had no idea what 

a bike race was, but I was completely mistaken when all she talked about the day before was how she was going to win.  (Everything Greta does right now revolves around winning, Greta always "wins".  I do not have to worry about her confidence levels....)

So here are Chris and Greta before the race...practicing.

It was nicely organized, with different heats for different

ages as well as different bikes (big wheels, training wheels,etc.)

She's off!

  Go Greta Go!!!

I was laughing so hard standing at the finish

line.  It just seemed so funny!

Notice the tongue in full concentration.

Notice no one anywhere near her!  WOW!

That's because she was dead last.  4th out of 4.  She was peddling so slowly, Clara probably could've beaten her.  But that's okay, because when she (finally) reached the finish line and received her ribbon she looked up and said "I won!".  It was a moment I'll never forget.
