After close to four weeks of daily badgering, today was FINALLY Grace's Trike-A-Thon, her Preschool's annual fundraising event. She was sponsored for entering by family and friends and proudly raised $70.00. Which she got very excited about until she realised that it wasn't actually hers to keep....
Thankfully, despite the very gloomy forecast, the rain held off for most of the two hour event, which began with the big ride.
Grace rode her beloved Spiderman bike, which we paid the grand sum of $15 for at the Cromwell dump-shop while we were staying at Bannockburn over Christmas. Grace entered herself in both age categories and zoomed around the course with the younger group. However, by the time her category started, she had run out of steam, so it was a much more relaxed ride that involved a drink stop and a quick cuddle from Mummy half way round.
Then, with the riding over and done with, it was time for the jumping castle, balloon tiaras, sausage sandwiches, enough fairy floss to make a dentist swoon, pony rides, and generally as much fun as our wallets could handle.
