Though it was originally planned as an outside event, it had to be held indoors to due to the rain.
Parents marked off areas in the meeting hall to represent bike parking, a starting line, a stop sign, a cross walk and a construction zone. The children had learned about the different areas during class time at school. Griffin's bicycle is on the right side, the first yellow one with the bright blue helmet.
Griffin is rounding the corner ... watch out for Ms. Linda!
Though we took his bicycle to school ... he decided to take this very cool three-wheeler for a spin.
Oh noooooooo ... watch out for the stop light. Honestly ... he was better at going in reverse than going forward. {smile}
The children had a great time raising funds for St. Jude Children's Hospital, learning bicyle safety and having "fun time" on a regular school day. Of course one of the highlights of the day was earning their "driver's license" and goodie bag and receiving it from Ms. Jennifer.
Aren't these just the cutest driver's licenses? Thank you CY for making them.
As soon as the Paper Piecing event ends on Ebay on Saturday (you can click here for more info on that) ... I will be posting a total of how much our amazing friends and family members helped us to raise.
Thank you very much for helping to make this a great event for Griffin, his preschool and St. Jude Children's Hospital.

That is soooooooo AWESOME!!! I love the pictures....he had such a good time. And I love the driver's license...that's a keepsake. I share with Mr. Bill who thought the traffic lesson along with the trike a thon was a fantastic idea. This was a wonderful learning experience all the way around.
