March for Babies!!!

Saturday, May 7, 2011...imagine waking up at 6 in the morning to get ready to go for a walk.  This is no ordinary walk.  This is a special day for Avery and all the little babies including Baby Anika and Sam.  I get all three of my rugrats ready, as they are going with me since daddy has to work.  The weather man said it is suppose to be in the 70s and sunny....and yes it was!  I had several of my friends and their children join me, Avery, Caleb, and McKayla to walk 3 miles in Fairmont, MN to show support for the March of Dimes/March for Babies. 

Last week I attempted to do another walk with the Seitzer family, but the weather did not want to cooperate in the morning as it made it questionable if we should take the little ones out for a walk.

The walk was a workout for us mom's since there were many obstacles like hills (imagine 2 of my friends and their little ones in wagons), kids needing to stop and pick up dandelions for mom, and the inevitable, "Mom, I'm tired!"  But in the end we all did it and I will definately do it again every year to show my support for not only my Little Avery, but all the babies out their that need our love and support.

Very first obstacle...going up a steep hill!

The culprits that gave mom's a work out pulling them up a hill.

Enjoying the great weather!

The many stops along the way for Evelyn...she did this the whole walk!

Notice the effort Grace is putting in for her mom!  Good job Ursula!!!

During one of the stops, we were able to get bottled water, kettle corn, and graham cracker goldfish!

This is Ursula's daughters Evelyn and Grace!

This is one of my favorite pictures.  Here we have Aubrey pulling the wagon with her daughter, Ellie, while little Grace decides to help push them along.

I want to thank all of my friends for supporting the March of dimes by participating in the March for Babies Walk 2011.  Next year, get prepared because we have new ideas for the walk.  Until then, see you next year!
