Instead of walking, Aiden rode his bike this year. He has really taken off on riding it by himself the past few months. His PT supervisor said next year, she was setting up hurdles for Aiden to jump over. LOL! I seriously hope she was joking.  We didn't hang around long after the actual walk. The temperatures were getting to Aiden and Chris both. We ended up leaving without me taking a lot of pictures. There was so much to do and see and people to talk to. It is amazing seeing all the kids we met years ago growing up. |

This year, a few things were different. Instead of being at one of the local area high school tracks, it was held at a park due to construction at said high school. Pre-registration (if you didn't attend the kick off party) went a lot more smoothly, I think. We did have to wait until the ribbon cutting ceremony to enter the park, but luckily, the Green Country Classic Mustang Club was nice enough to let us sit under their tents while we were waiting.
Once inside, instead of a DJ, there was a live band, who was actually pretty good. We saw a bunch of people we haven't seen in a long time. Janae, Aiden's Make-a-Wish wish granter was there and remembered the little boy. And Susan, who was Aiden's service coordinator from Early Intervention. I am in so much trouble for not keeping in touch. I'll be sending out a bunch of emails in the next few days. Lots and LOTS of exhibits, including one from Aiden's private therapy group.
Feed the Children was there this year giving all the kids books. A serious score. Miss Alyx, - Aiden's girlfriend - wasn't there due to being sick today, so we picked up an extra set for her.
McDonalds provided lunch for everyone and a certain little boy ate 3 boxes of nuggets and a cheeseburger. I'm not sure where he stores all the food he consumes.
