Ty's Hop a thon!

At North City Preschool, every year they have a hop a thon, where the kids hop through an obstacle course and earn money for the school.  It's also a chance for me to see Ty play and interact with his friends.  These boys are so cute.  The "Bros". :)  And Mrs. Friesen says this is a common occurrence between them.  Blaine steering the bike, Ty riding on the back, and Colin, the work horse, pushing them around the track.  She said she's asked if Colin wanted a ride or if they'd want to switch their positions, and they all say, "Nope, this is how we do it."  Too funny.

Braden and Harman are also in their class and also good friends with the "Bros". :)
 
And now it's Hop a thon time!  Ms. Karen gives them the rules before entering the obstacle course.

And here's the class waiting patiently for their turn to jump. 

They all wore necklaces with bouncing or hopping animals and this class was the Kangaroo bunch.

Here goes Blaine!

And Ty was next!  He was so excited and couldn't wait to get jumping.  He started off well and then got a little too exited and rounded this corner too fast.  He tripped and hit his head on the pavement, poor boy, and got a little bump.  He tried not to cry in front of everyone and they got him an ice pack for his head, but he said he couldn't continue jumping.

So I stepped in as a pinch jumper and jumped for him. :)
 
I think this helped Ty feel a bit better because in no time flat, he was out there telling my how to jump and then...

showing me, in true Ty fashion.  Obviously his head didn't hurt too much, I think it was more his ego.  Anyway, he helped me hop through the rest of the course and completed the hop a thon!

Hurrah hop a thon and hurrah North City Preschool!  Ty raised lots of money for his school and won $25 to Toys R Us from the school drawing!
