The Pampered Chef had a team at Vermont&#8217;s first (I<br \/>\n    think) American Cancer Society&#8217;s Making Strides Against Breast<br \/>\n    Cancer walk. That&#8217;s a mouthful! It was held about 1.5hrs from<br \/>\n    our house and coincidentally about 10 minutes from the colo<br \/>\n    facility Alan had to do some work at today. So we all drove up<br \/>\n    together and Alan (poor Alan) went to work while the kids and I<br \/>\n    did our first walk. It was fun, mostly. We were supposed to<br \/>\n    walk with a big Pampered Chef team, but only a few people<br \/>\n    showed up and none that I knew :( But we always have fun<br \/>\n    anyway. Lex was tired and rode in the stroller for the whole 5<br \/>\n    miles, but Eve was ambitious and wanted to walk, walk, walk! I<br \/>\n    let her out for awhile, but if we did the whole walk at her<br \/>\n    pace we&#8217;d still be there now!! So I had to corral her back into<br \/>\n    the stroller after awhile. She got lots of oohhs and ahhs and<br \/>\n    &#8220;how cuuutteee&#8230;&#8221; from all the people passing us.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e)\n    {}\" href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_xGc8ytldDks\/SPvYy-HpyBI\/AAAAAAAAEEM\/tc0RXo68L9w\/s1600-h\/IMG_3280.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align:\n    center; cursor: pointer;\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_xGc8ytldDks\/SPvYy-HpyBI\/AAAAAAAAEEM\/tc0RXo68L9w\/s320\/IMG_3280.JPG\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259035360065341458\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><span style=\"font-style:\n    italic;\">Pre-walk.
