We did our first charity fund raiser walk
today. The Pampered Chef had a team at Vermont’s first (I
think) American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast
Cancer walk. That’s a mouthful! It was held about 1.5hrs from
our house and coincidentally about 10 minutes from the colo
facility Alan had to do some work at today. So we all drove up
together and Alan (poor Alan) went to work while the kids and I
did our first walk. It was fun, mostly. We were supposed to
walk with a big Pampered Chef team, but only a few people
showed up and none that I knew :( But we always have fun
anyway. Lex was tired and rode in the stroller for the whole 5
miles, but Eve was ambitious and wanted to walk, walk, walk! I
let her out for awhile, but if we did the whole walk at her
pace we’d still be there now!! So I had to corral her back into
the stroller after awhile. She got lots of oohhs and ahhs and
“how cuuutteee…” from all the people passing us.

Pre-walk. Don’t they look bundled
:)

Eve,
walking the walk.

After the walk we hung out at the field for a little
while. They had lots of free food (so much for the 5 mile
calorie burn!) and a bouncy house for the kids and
entertainment. There were some girls dancing to oldies music (a
dance team, I suppose) and each time the music ended Eve
clapped and said “more, more”. She also does this in the car
between each song on the CD. Silly girl.

Eve was
tired, tired, tired by the end of the event. She ended up
walking around, plug in mouth, dragging doggie by the ear.
People still oohed and aahhed about how adorable she was
(though most people called her a boy by that point because of
the blue jacket.)

Lex was
tired, tired, tired too! He hasn’t napped in the car in a long
time.

They both
took naps in the car on the way home and early bedtimes
tonight!
