Hooked

Yesterday we spent the day at another bike race.

It was not as warm as we thought but luckily I packed warm clothes for the boys. We watched Paul race and then the big event:

the kids' race!

Emmit barely could contain himself he was so excited to race. Gerrit was sure he was going to take first place. They did part of the course and even had their own barrier (shorter than regulation height). All 5 kids received medals and Gerrit ended up 2nd if you really want to know. 

This is what Gerrit spend the better part of a 1/2 hour doing today after church. 

It was his idea, he just needed a little help from dad setting up the barriers. If Emmit had seen this, he would have been out there too! At least he's outside getting exercise (and practicing up for next week's race).
