The day started off nice and dry at Toad Suck Park in Conway, AR. I had a great time neeting so many people who were there to help the March of Dimes.Over 300 bikers from all of Arkansas rode for our babies. The biker who raised the most lead the pack and the chapter that raised the largest amount followed behind the leader.

After the bikers left the park they took the senic route to the Clinton Library in Little Rock, AR. After helping clean up the park I drove to meet the bikers at the library. I was so thrilled to arrive and see such a fantastic set-up. It amazes me that I did not take a picture of it. My parents were so kind to bring Alex to this event. About the time they arrived the rain came with them. Alex and I waited under the Mission Family tent and waited for the bikers to arrive. While we were waiting we met some wonderful famlies who also had a baby born to soon. Small world...one of famlies have a little girl named Alex and she shares the same birthday, different year, as my Alex. Then to top it off she was born premature  and her mother and I have simular names.

After about and hour I decided that the rain was never going to end. So we went back to my parents house. As you can tell Alex was worn out. Sometimes it is hard being popular. I am so thankful for all of the bikers that rode for our babies. One interesting fact...the Arkansas Bikers for Babies event is the third largest Bikers for Baies in the nation! Way to go Arkansas bikers!!!
