A few highlights from this weekend's Alzheimer's Association Memory Walk®. The kids did really well considering we dragged them on a 3 mile walk! We had our biggest team ever, My sister & nephew, my Aunt K, Cousins S & S, Aunt K's friend, K, my Dad and Stepmom and Monkey and Mater all walked and had a great time.
Mater - watching the opening ceremony...
Monkey and Mater
Monkey and Aunt K in the T-shirt contest. We didn't win, which explains the look on Monkey's face, but the group that did win was walking for a relative that had passed away the day before... There were a lot of great T-shirts there.
Remembering loved ones...
On our way. (Mater is on Papo's shoulders...) There were TONS of people there.
My Aunt K and her friend, K. (They have the same name, and I would give them names like I've done in the past, but my family has a LOT of 'K' names, and I'm running out of ideas!)
Miles of people...
Bad picture, but this woman was ACTUALLY carrying her dog. Huh??
Mater, Monkey and Nigel

Awesome for you! My best friends father died of Alzheimers...it's very near and dear to my heart.

Such a cute idea for the shirts! Wow! What a wonderful thing you did here. Those kids? Forget abou it. They're adorable.
Those are some great pics of your kiddos:)
Those shirts are AWESOME. Grandpa Jack is smiling.
I loved the t-shirts. I know that Daddy Jack is smiling and bragging about you guys. Your kids are gorgeous! The last picture is just priceless. I'm glad to hear how well it turned out!
The pic of Mater & the one of the 3 of the boys together seriously brought tears to my eyes! What a great way to carry on your grandpa's legacy, by making sure your boys know as much as they can about him AND the disease that he so bravely battled :) Your boys are as handsome as can be! (and I just read your post about what Monkey said about the army....what a wonderful lil man you have momma!)
Way to go on the 895!!!! That is astounding!
Wow!! Thanks for emailing me the link. Your kids are real troopers. I can't imagine mine going 3 miles. And you raised so much money, wow, that's awesome!!!!
Looks like everybody had fun. I'm glad you had a good walk and impressed that your kids made it the whole way.
Seriously though, what is with that lady carrying her dog?!
