Walk & Roll!

The Walk & Roll was a great time! I had never been on an organized bike ride before this (unless you count Critical Mass). I was expecting a lane to be blocked off on some of the roads, but I guess maybe that is only for rides with more participants? Either way, fun time. I’ve participated in fund raisers for cancer research before, but this one was so much more meaningful because one of my family members is dealing with cancer right now.

This is a video I took before the ride, just scoping out the scene when Ronald McDonald showed up. That confused me–doesn’t McDonald’s probably contribute to cancer?

This is a video of people doing karate in Festival Park after the ride.

Pretty bridges on the South Elgin portion of the Fox River Trail.

The Kickstands raised over $2,000–amazing! Feel free to click the link and join us sometime.

Fun in Festival Park.

On one of those record-breaking warm days last week I walked around downtown Elgin with my man. We sauntered over to Festival Park, which was smaller than I expected, but so fun that I think the name of it should be FUNstival Park. Okay, that’d just be dumb. BUT, here are videos of me playing with giant instruments in FUNFestival Park. You will like these because they are 20 seconds or shorter each.

Note Ma’Goach is scared of the big drum.
