Riley and I ended up going to this because Greyson was camping with Dad that weekend. We will go every year! So cool to see big, bad to the bone men dressed in all their leather, bandannas and boots with big teddy bears strapped to the back of their bikes. All on a mission to brighten a child's life that morning. Riley was entertained by ALL the bikes filling IKEA's parking lots. We sat on the hood of our Yukon and cheered them all down the road. I hear next year we need to make it to the parade to help pass out the bears. We won't miss it next year....already looking forward to it!
