One of our new neighbors has progeria, so this weekend Wei-Yand, the girls, and I participated in a 3K fun walk to help benefit research for progeria. I thought the 5K seemed a little aggressive for a family walk, but the 3K was just our speed. I pre-registered, but I managed to talk Wei-Yand into walking with us that morning.
The girls have been sleeping in until about 8:30, so they weren't overly thrilled when we pulled them out of bed at 6:50 am. We bundled them up and whisked them off to the race. Harper was a little feisty, but a peanut butter and jelly sandwich helped her calm down.
We watched the start of the 5K/10K, and then it was our turn to walk. I just now realized that Wei-Yand and the girls matched:)
It was an absolutely beautiful morning for a walk, and there was a big turn-out so it was really fun. After the walk, the carousel was giving free rides, and they had lots of other activities for kids that I'm sure our girls will love in the future.
Waiting for the Carousel
The girls are still a little afraid of the carousel, but the four of us rode it together, and they did all right.
I'm already looking forward to next year!
