Mamma Jamma + Flag Football

This morning Evan and I got up around 6am and left at 6:30 for the Mamma Jamma Bike Ride.  The ride benefits 8 different local breast cancer organizations.

On the way there, we stopped at Donut Taco Palace. Evan got a doughnut and I got a breakfast taco.

We met Papa at the ride.

Evan and I did the 15 mile ride and Papa did the 25 mile one.

At the finish line, Evan and I raced toward the end.  He wanted to race.  The crowd was really cheering and the announcer said that Evan was the first kid to finish.  He was really happy about that.  Then, right after the finish line,  we got a medal.  They placed it around our necks.  Evan was super excited about that.  It was his first medal.  It turned out everyone got a medal, but it was still cool.

While we waited for Papa we walked around and got lots of different swag (food samples, drinks, pens, chip clips, etc.).  Evan saw one of his Camp Kesem counselors there and they hung out together for a while cheering at the finish line.

We really had a nice time this morning.  Evan was loving it.  The event had a good turnout.  But, it wasn't too big.  Everyone was very friendly.

We left around 11:30 so that Evan could get to his flag football practice and then the game.

Earlier in the morning, Morry took Noah to his flag football game.  Even though Noah's team lost, Noah still had a good time.

Morry met us at the Wendy's near our house and then took Evan to his practice/game.

I went home for a little bit to unload the bikes and shower, then Noah and I went to Evan's 2:00 game.

Like Noah's team, they lost, but still had fun.

After the game, both Evan and Noah went with Reid's family to the Pecan Street Festival and then Chick-Fil-A for dinner.

We picked up the kids from Reid's house and then Morry and I picked up dinner at Chipotle.

We ate at home and we all watched Stranger Things.  We had heard good things about that show and watched the first episode.  We all liked it so far.

Now the kids are getting ready for bed.

Here are some pictures from today:
