This past weekend was an eventful one around here! Todd's birthday was Friday and he decided that the best way to begin the next year was to ride in the Tour de Cure -- a 100 mile bike ride! Will and I went to cheer him on at a few of the rest stops and the Simmons family came out to help. Lucky for us because Melissa takes great pictures! :) Not to mention that they helped to entertain Will and I -- six hours trekking across the countryside can take a toll on ya...:)
Here are the kids waiting for Todd at one rest stop -- and dressed to cheer on the Huskers as soon as the ride is over!
Yeah Daddy! Will was so excited to see Todd at each rest stop and would try and get him to stay...
I'll just sit here dad...
Todd riding back off into the countryside...
After catching Todd at a couple of the rest stops we took one of our own by grabbing some lunch. Then it was off to the finish line to watch him come in. By this time it was well past nap time and Will had been playing ALL day. Needless to say, the little guy was wiped out! Here he is waiting for Todd to come across the finish line...he just kept lying down and saying "night, night"...bless his heart, he hung in there!
And it's the finish line!!! We were so proud of Todd and he is so thankful for all the donations -- it was a great day, a great cause, and a great accomplishment. Thanks all!
