Biker day

Since 2006, our local Harley Davidson chapter organize an event where cancer kids get to ride a motorcycle. We went there in 2006 but couldn't attend the event last year as Chuy's family from Texas was here. Today was the day and I was afraid the weather was not going to collaborate but once again, we got lucky: no rain but a lot of wind ... Here are some pics of the afternoon:

One man has sleigh dogs and Emma enjoyed petting them a lot

Pierre enjoyed listenning to the music in the store:

Then it was time for the rides. First Pierre was very happy to go for a ride then he suddendly decided he didn't want to ride anymore (he didn't seem to be scared but was moody for I don't know what reason ... ) That's when you wonder why for some kids everything goes always so smoothly Emma) and why for others, everything is ALWAYS so complicated (Pierre) ??? ...

Emma and Steb got to drive in a Porsche (the car I use only to go to the grocery store and I use the Rolls with my personal driver to pick up the kids at school ) My princess in her luxury car:

Then it was time to take official pictures:

Emma is always so at ease everywhere.

She really wanted to ride in that sleigh so she waited on line and was lucky to get the last ride (as the dogs were tired). I snapped this good picture of her (she now has to wear her glasses everyday. I personnaly think she's cutter without them but her sight is more important.)

Ready to go:

What Pierre really wanted was to ride in this little red jewel:

He didn't want a grey Porsche, he wanted a Corvette

But he had to wait a long long time before to get in his dream car as many kids had the same idea. Emma who, at first, didn't want to ride on a motorcycle (even though she did it 2 years ago) decided it was time to try again:

No, she didn't leave the house with pink lipstick, she was born with pink lips With her personal biker:

My camera shy boy decided it would be great to play with the camera like a naughty super model:

That boy is too funny (he hates having his picture taken which is awful for the family photographer (me!) He really cracks me up: he has a good sense of humor and we can't help loving him more everyday.

Pierre's moment finally arrived: a ride in his dream car !!!

He said, the guy went really fast and of course, Pierre enjoyed every minute of it !!!

They even got a little gift each: a little barking dog Harley Davidson of course A collectible !

Thanks to the Harley Davidson chapter for such a great afternoon !!!

I kept stitching on my flowers last night to try to forget. Of course, it was mission impossible ... Thanks again for your support. I wish I could be a stronger person but I'm only a weak person who gets too emotional ... Here is the pic:
