Catching Up: March of Dimes Walk

Our family participated, along with our church, in the 7 1/2 mile long March of Dimes: March for Babies a week ago. Each of us gained a little something from the walk. Brishen and Basia got the chance to wear their cool bike shirts with pockets in the back, and actually USE the pockets.
The kids also enjoyed the treats, such as donuts and Twizzlers after walking an entire half mile, and snow cones later in the march.

We all enjoyed remembering back to the days when we could walk 7 1/2 miles and still feel like jumping like crazy immediately after.

Camden enjoyed a good nap.

Kenn enjoyed the chance to reload his supply of cheap plastic water bottles.
I don't have pictures to prove it, but Jon enjoyed getting sermon content from strange men holding signs along the walk route. I enjoyed having friends and family with me while I logged in a few miles--it takes a big event to get anyone to join me!

I find it quite comical that Camden is holding an "Eat more chicken" cow. :)

It's those doggone meat eaters trying to brainwash him early.

We do what we can. :)

Brishen's Birthday, Too

  We were in Sacramento on Brishen's birthday, but we made it home to celebrate the next day.  He wanted green chile potato corn chowder...
