toy drive

every year Harley riders have numerous toy runs for needy kids. The bikers like it because they get a great ride with lots of other bikers and they get to help out kids. Every H-D club has their own run, and our fostering agency is the beneficiary of one of the clubs. It is truly an awesome site - literally hundreds of bikers riding up with gifts.

In the past, we've tried to keep our kids low key about it. We've even told the agency that we didn't need to go because our kids get enough stuff for Christmas, but they basically require us to go. I think part of it is the babies. The riders want to see babies, not just teenagers. With so many kids in our house this year, the gifts will be more of a blessing this year.

Anyway, tomorrow is the big day. We'll drive out to a restaurant out on the lake and let our kids hang out with the bikers and get gifts. Hopefully, the babies won't be too shy and their noses won't be too snotty. Hopefully, the teens will be polite and act interested. Hopefully, it won't rain.
