Jingle Cross, Jingle Cross

We spent much of the day at the Johnson County Fairgrounds for the annual Jingle Cross Bike Races.  This was Owyn's 3rd year competing, and Jack has been racing for at least three years (maybe more). 

Jack raced early in the day, but the kids and I were there to watch.

 

Owyn and his friend Colin (back) tried out the
winners' blocks with Colin's little brother.

Then it was time for the kids' race...

 

Owyn (green helmet) checked out the cheater of the race...

...the Grinch!  He starts the kids' race every year and
he cheats the whole way!

 

A little help with the obstacle

Owyn pedaled hard to catch the Grinch!

 

McKenzie and Alex were able to join us this year for the races.



 

 

They all three finished and got a new stuffed buddy from the race sponsor, Build-A-Bear Workshop.

 



Back up on the winners' blocks!

Zoee will be old enough to join the fun and chase the Grinch next year.  See you then, Grinch!
