Ben's 1st 7-mile bike race! Last year we cheered Mike on for the Tour de Donut, and this year Ben joined in on the fun! Mike and Ben did a 7 mile circuit race. The other riders were cheering on Ben as he went around the course. There were other kids in the race but most of them were picked up somewhere along the way. Ben was determined to finish and did great! The race course is full of pot-holes that they mark with spray paint. Ben did really good at avoiding all the pot-holes that were marked, but unfortunately hit one that wasn't marked and went down and hurt his knee. But, he got back up and kept going! Ben was the first one in the kids division to finish the race, so he won a first place trophy!!! And, best of all was the chance to enjoy the delicious donuts! (Ben was riding his super fast bike that he had saved $135 of his allowance for! Ben is amazing at saving his money to get what he wants, and he saved a long time for his bike.)
A few days before this race, Ben was wondering why the scriptures didn’t mention
dinosaurs before people. And where did Indians fit into the whole picture of
history? We had to have a long talk about when dinosaurs lived and who exactly Indians were. Luckily I took a Native American class in college. You never know when such things will come in handy with kids.
