4th of July

On 4th of July this year, we went down to a children's bike parade on the beach. 400 kids were there with their bikes jazzed up for the 4th! We went because an organization there had made it possible to get bikes donated for inner city kids who don't have bikes. 12 of our kids from Citylights were able to receive these. I wish you could have seen the joy on their faces. They got to ride in the parade along the beach and then take the bikes home with them. It was an exciting experience! While Luke wasn't old enough to ride in the parade, he was excited just to be there... and his day was made when the firefighters let him sit in the fire truck! AND we got to experience the glow on these kids faces as they rode their new bikes for the first time!
