The city of Snoqualmie puts on a "Bike Rodeo" for kids every year and we were fortunate enough to attend this year! The Bike Rodeo was started due to a couple of kids from the area who were killed while riding their bikes and not wearing helmets. At the rodeo they check all kids' helmets to make sure they fit properly and if they don't, the give you a new one (for free). All kids' bikes are checked out and have folks from bicycle shops on site with their skills and tools who will fix your bike to make it safe on the spot if needed. There are have different courses set up for the kids to ride through and police officers there teaching the kids how to bike across a street safely, or over a driveway etc. It was a really neat event - sad the reason why it was started, but very neat for the kids. We all enjoyed ourselves!
This is NOT something ever want to see on Zane's CGM (continuous glucose monitor) - the LOW means his blood sugar is under 30 (was actually 34 when we did a blood check), the double arrows down mean that he's dropping very quickly. Thankfully there were plenty of medics on site because we almost needed on and I'm not kidding. Zane was acting fine for the most part, but we were having a hard time getting his blood sugar up quick. After 3 juice boxes and 2 twizzlers, he was finally at 109. Was a little dicey there for a few mins! As always, he's a trooper though!
