Jackson's Trike-a-thon

Today was a big day for the J man. It was his first time to participate in the trike-a-thon at his school. They are raising money for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. What a fantastic way to teach young kids about helping other kiddos in need. This morning we put his bike and helmet in the back of our car and headed to school.

When it was time for his class to do their riding, Lila, Memaw and I met him at the school. He got right on his Harley bicycle and fastened this helmet...

and off he rode to the starting line!

He had two really sweet girls cheering him on.

Go Jackson!

Every time he'd ride by us, he'd wave and say, "Hi Sissy!" It was so cute.

After many laps around the cones, these riders were all done. Great job, kiddos!

They were rewarded by getting to eat these cool popsicles outside.

Jackson was a fan of these new fangled MinuteMaid popsicles.

It took a lot of time, but I finally convinced him that it would be ok to get out of his circle and come take a picture with two of his biggest fans. He is a rule follower, that's for sure!

Wonder where he gets that from?

Way to go, Jackson! We are so proud of you for raising money for other sweet kids. In fact, if any of you would like to donate money to St. Jude's, Jackson will be collecting it through next Friday.
