Bike Safety Night

Tonight our local police department and the town of Sylva put on a bike safety community event. The parking lot was blocked off and made into an obstacle course for riders and the kids got to visit different stations. Our favorite was the helmet station where each child was given a brand new helmet! Even Ella got to leave with one- very exciting! Carson spent most of his time getting in good with the officers while Ella just walked around in her new pink helmet eating snow cones and popcorn, I guess she figured the best way to really be safe was not to get on a bike at all... just stroll around and eat. Tyler had a great time weaving around the cones on his new bike. And a guy from the bike shop was there to give each rider a free bike inspection- he was able to tune up the hand brakes on Tyler's bike in about 30 seconds! Maybe best hour we every spent at a community event.
