Before the walk

"Whew...I'm pooped!"

Sorry it has taken me so long to get these posted. I had a friend take these pictures and didn't get them until yesterday. Anyway, Jeremy, Abby, and I had a wonderful time at the March of Dimes walk last Saturday. Abby thoroughly enjoyed waving at all of the other babies and pointing out every dog on the path, patting her leg, and saying, "Do." About halfway through the walk, she decided that she was tired of her stroller and wanted to walk also. So we scooted off the main path and let her walk where she wouldn't be trampled. Then she rode on her daddy's shoulders for a while and ate a WHOLE banana. (There were rest stops where water, Gatorade, fruit, and energy bars were being distributed.) When we got to the finish line, Abby got down again and walked across all by herself. We were so proud. :)

In Amarillo, the finish line of the walk is actually at our miniature Six Flags (Wonderland Park). Therefore, they opened the kiddy rides and allowed participating families to enjoy the park for a while. Abby rode the carousel. She loved it; Jeremy and I, however, were half sick. Let me tell you...carousels are NOT meant for adults! Needless to say, Abby was happily exhausted when it was all over and konked out in her carseat before we ever got out of the parking lot.

I encourage you all to check out your local walk for next year, especially if you have children. It is a nice opportunity for the whole family to get involved in a charitable organization. Thanks again to all of our friends and family who contributed!
