Our 1st Buddy Walk!
It was awesome and we all loved it! My parents/sister/neice/Steve's parents all walked together. It was great fun! Our weather was fabulous - nice and warm which is crazy for October!
It was great to support the down syndrome association - obviously something we believe strongly in! The walk was pretty short - just around the lake at the fairgrounds. My sister and I commented that we could walk around a 2nd time. But Natalie was hungry.
They started with a balloon release - it was cool to see the yellow and blue balloons float away. Natalie really liked that!
Here's our whole team that came out to support down syndrome and Colin! I love that the parents from both sides were there. My sister was SO excited to be there! We are blessed with an amazing family!
And here's the star of today's show:
We look forward to participating in many more Buddy Walks each year - especially as Colin gets older. It'll be fun to hang around, see him interact with other children that have DS. All the kids were adorable today! They had a DJ there - and it was super cute to see all the kids out there dancing and enjoying the music.
Fun times! And thanks for our families for supporting Colin!!!!!!
I love the balloons!! Gave me the chills! Looks like you guys had a great day! :)
