HEATRAY ON THE LOOSE
Mega helper putting the little suit to the fun limits. Grown ups couldn't help it. They loved the colors and didn't mind the tight fit of the kids suits. I guess I will have to do a rainbow "grown up" ride :)

I told her it might be hard to keep up with the bikes on the scooters and she proved my totally wrong - passing some bikes. She definitely put in 150%
