Braxton decided to participate in a youth bike race on Saturday Feb. 12th. This was sponsored by the Rec Center and held out to the Bloomington Hills park. The 1 mile race was broken into 2 different heats which consisted of 2 laps (1/2 mile per heat). The loop had a bit of a hill to it and was a little harder than he thought it was going to be. The first heat Braxton came in 4th, and the 2nd heat he came in 3rd. Each participant got a nice medal and a t-shirt for finishing the race. We figured he'd race his mile around the park and we'd be done in about an hour....we were there for 2.5 hours! I didn't take anything for Tanner and Camrie (or more importantly...myself!) to eat or drink thinking we wouldn't be there very long. Luckily they had snacks and drinks for everyone there, so our breakfast of champions consisted of fruit snacks, cookies, and lemonade!! They also raffled off some pretty great prizes and we won free pizza, ice cream cones, passes to SHAC, and also the Rec Center. Braxton was so excited for the race and can't wait until the next one comes around. Way to go Braxton we are so proud of you.
