We drove through Kennebunk a couple of weeks ago and saw a banner hanging on the side of the Waterhouse Center that was built in downtown a couple of years ago and saw that Kevin Robinson was coming to town. David was pretty excited as “K-Rob” is a pro-bmx rider that he has followed over the years. We see a mini day trip in our future! So, Saturday comes around and we pack up, wake the baby up a little early from his nap and scoot down to see what it’s all about. Turns out, Kevin is a great motivational speaker, especially for kids! It was great to see him show some of his tricks, talk about working towards your goals and he introduced everybody to his BMX team of kiddos who inevitably showed off their skills. David informed me that K-Rob usually speaks to a gymnasium full of elementary school kids but this was great to be in an outdoor setting and it also allowed parents to partake in the fun.
Baby J Loved to watch all the action:David was interested to see that K-Rob rides flatland in addition to vert.

Watching all these people do amazing things with their bikes (and scooters for some) made me super hungry. Thankfully, What a Wrap food cart was RIGHT there to offer up a yummy veggie option for Your’s Truly.
Kennebunk has always been a rather sleepy town (at least it was when I was growing up) but they have really grown a lot in recent years. With all of the revamping of their downtown, new stores and the addition of this outdoor center (ice skating rink in the winter months!!!) it’s even better than before.
