We thought it was time for an afternoon activity with a little horsepower... scooter rides in the parking lot! The kids donned a helmet and took turns riding around the parking lot with one of our staff members. The kids -- especially the little boys -- thought this was the best thing they'd done in weeks!

Abigail puts her helmet on.
Ben is ready to go! Everyone got one ride, but Ben wanted more! After every child's turn, he would go up to the scooter to try and get a second ride. At the end, he did get to go again.
The audience waits their turn.
Jeremy and Brett enthusiastically watch
as the scooter comes around the corner.
Chris, you're still a little young for this!
Jeremy and Emily watch with great interest.
Will it be our turn soon?
Leah's at the wheel! Next to Ben, she had the most fun.
Ben and Jacob go for a spin.
Abigail waits for her turn with a new friend.
Is that Jeremy under that helmet?
Olivia wasn't sure what to think at first, but had a great time in the end.
Emily adjusts her helmet.
Brett was the strongest of them all; he wanted to drive, and he has such good upper body strength that he almost gets his way!
Luke takes it for a spin.
Abigail takes a ride.
Cheryl didn't want to wear the helmet; perhaps because it would mess up her hair?
Olivia thought
the helmet was fun.
Adrian liked watching, but it will be a while before he can go for a ride himself!
