This morning was the March for Babies. Last time I looked at the weather it was going to be a beautiful, warm, sunny day. However, when we arrived at the mall parking lot, we found that it was very windy, and the temperature was in the low 60's. A very nice day, but a little chillier than we were expecting. Elizabeth was curled up in the back seat of the double stroller, shivering, trying to use her silky as a blanket.
After taking our team picture, we headed towards the starting line. After counting down from ten, we were off!! I've never done a walk this before, so I was imagining a leisurely stroll through the park. Wrong! We were in the park, but we were also in the street, on a sidewalk while some of us walked on the street, and cutting through parking lots. And it wasn't a leisurely stroll either! There was a nice, quick pace going and if you stopped, you would be hit by any number of double stroller, regular stroller, wagon, or tike bike. But there was such a great energy, you couldn't help but walk quickly enjoying the day!
Oh, and for everyone who supported us, you will be pleased to know that there were no short cuts for us!! We walked the entire time, which lasted over an hour, maybe closer to an hour and a half. For some reason, I wasn't expecting the march to be that long, but it was, and I loved it!
After the March for Babies, we headed back to the starting line where there was a giant inflated slide, a jump house, free hotdogs, pizza, chips, snowcones, face painting and entertainment. We had a blast!!
I'll leave you with one picture, but rest assured that more pictures will follow! Thanks to everyone who supported us!!
