Avery and Andon participated in their first cycling race!!! Sure they had training wheels but that's not important! Mark was in a a 3 day race and on Sunday, they have a Kids Fun Ride and the were so cute they even got to wear official numbers on their backs! Mark even taught them to "Get on their race face"! There were 3 different starting spots...one was really short (like 100 feet), one was about 1/8 of a mile (the one they did) and one was a full mile. I wanted them to do the entire mile but we opted for the middle distance for their first one. They had the flag start and off they went......Avery was riding like a racer while Andon was taking it all in and enjoying the crowd cheering them on! So, don't tell Andon, but yes, he was beaten by a girl...not to mention his sister! Hehehe! They both got medals, got to stand on the podium and had such a blast! They can't wait to do it again!
While the pro racers (and Mark's Cousin's Husband, Kyle) were racing, we took Avery and Andon over to the bouncer where Avery had an experience with her first bully....a 6 year old girl! She walked right up to Avery and pushed her shoulder into Avery and said, "How old are you? I'm older than you...Ha, Ha, Ha!". Then she walked around in the bouncer, walked over to Avery and picked her up and threw her across the bouncer!!! I wanted to step in but I also wanted to see how Avery was going to react. Avery, in her shy little voice with strangers (not at home though), said, with a not so nice look on her face, "Stop it.". Then the girl did it again!!! I stepped in with this one...no parent around....and she gets out and steps on another kids leg and hops on her bike to leave! I was not a happy mom!
