Redbud Classic 2009

This year we joined with our friends, Jennifer and Julie and walked the 2 mile Stroller Derby for the Redbud Classic. The derby also consists of decorating your stroller. We chose the theme of train for ours. Here is the final product. It did take close to 17 hours with 4 people working on it and lots of design ideas and of course Donnie putting it all together with his tools! :) It was fun!

Kenzie was in our animal car. This is her practicing the night before. She wasn't really thrilled with this idea!

The different angles of the train.

The two days that it took to make the train were beautiful. The day of the race it was freezing and windy! We are talking wind gusts of 45 mph the whole time!

Here is cute Kenzie in her lion costume in her animal car! The lion costume worked well to keep her warm! Little Cason (below) was in the caboose! He was so good and loved watching all the people. He also did a great job of saying "choo-choo"!

This is the beginning of the race. Notice Donnie, Blake and Regan in the front, Robyn and Kenzie behind them and Julie and Cason bringing up the back. It was so cold!

Blake did a wonderful job as the train engineer! He also was in charge of blowing the train whistle.

Another shot of all the people!

Kenzie apparently has a question... do we have to finish the 2 miles? it is so cold!

We all received medals as we crossed the finish line! Way to Go Kenzie!

All of us with the train!

This was about 7:00 after the race. Blake was so tired, he fell asleep on my lap. I wanted to fall asleep too! It was a long weekend, but a fun weekend! And I forgot to mention, we won 1st place! The award...Little Caesar's Pizza for a year! Kinda funny!
