Buddy Walk



Last weekend, we went to the Down Syndrome Buddy Walk in Arlington.  Aunt Emily had to help in a booth with the company she works for, so I took the oldest 4 kids around for some fun and games.  There were bounce houses, games, and nachos for lunch!  Parker, Addison, and Aubrey all had a great time.  Eden spent most of her time crying and begging me to hold her.  She didn't want to play any of the games or even jump in the bounce houses.  I finally got her to find her "happy heart" after offering her a piece of candy. 

Emily's company brought a fire truck and let the kids use the fire hose to "put out a fire".  After lunch, Parker, Addison, and Aubrey enjoyed exploring the fire truck and shooting the hose.  Eden wanted nothing to do with that and was perfectly content to sit and eat her nachos.

Despite the meltdowns by Eden, we all ended up having a good time while supporting a great cause!  The weather was nice and the kids enjoyed hanging out with each other.  I am glad Emily asked us to join her for a fun day!
