Saturday, June 23rd, was an adventurous day for our family. We began early in the morning by heading up to Sandy for a free screening of the new Disney movie, "Brave". Radio Disney was hosting the event and invited a bunch of clients or hopeful clients to attend. At the entrance the kids got to have their faces painted like warriors - that was a special treat. The movie was fantastic and very entertaining. The kids sat through it pretty well, and even Cody cooperated most of the time.
We had a couple hours to kill before we needed to be at our bike race in Park City. So, we grabbed some lunch and headed to Temple Square to keep the kids entertained. We walked around the temple grounds a bit, and then played in the children's section of the Church History Museum.
(Of course, everywhere we went throughout the day people asked where we got our faces painted so their kids could have it too.)
Then we braved our way up Parleys Canyon toward Park City. We were hoping to arrive at the Round Valley race site in plenty of time to get the kids registered and ready for the kids race. We got there in time, but we had to rush to the starting line. This was Paige and Ashby's first real race with number plates. Brian rode along side to make sure they were okay. Apart from a little whining on the uphills and not wanting to do a second lap, the kids had a good experience.
The venue also provided little strider bikes for toddler to ride. They are bicycles without any pedals that you just sit and push along with your feet. Brian had been wanting to get one for Levi (but they're a bit pricey), so this was Levi's first time sitting on one. I thought he'd take off right away because he is so stink'n fast on his wiggle car, but he really didn't get it. Levi entered in the toddler race and made quite a show bringing in the very rear of the pack.
Below is a little video of our day at the race.
Brian was also excited to participate in this race. It was a new course for him which added some extra nerves, but he did great (as always). He biked a good race and ended up 2nd in his age category.
The racers were very happy about the results of their day. Look at all the medals!
And even though we were at a bike race from 3pm - 8pm and away from home for 11 hours, we all survived and found out we are very brave!
