Last Saturday, Marilyn joined Bec and her girls in the March of Dimes event held in Riverside. Since we didn't know the way things happened at these events, we arrived bright and early to register. We discovered later, that we could have slept in a bit longer and come an hour later...but, who knew?
This little girl was ready to go on the walk! Several people even asked if she was going to walk the path...no, she rode comfortably in the stroller, and even had a little nap!
Baby sister was snuggly warm in her stroller, and did very well for her first big outing!
Snacks were plentiful, both from mommy's stash, and the volunteers along the way.
B's friends joined us on the walk. It was fun to be with them and hear their story also. K kept all of us busy (esp. S as he had to back-track and look for the shoe that K kicked off soon after we left the starting line.) Later down the trail, the other shoe got kicked off...fortunately, K and I were ahead of the group so they were able to find it quickly. Needless to say, the shoes were not worn again until the little feet were on the ground, and not in the stroller!
The path for the "march" took us thru many areas of Riverside--residential (close to several garage sales that B took advantage of), parts of downtown, and also the parks area.
It was a perfect day for the walk and this park area was beautiful. We heard that the event also did well in raising funds for the March of Dimes. It was interesting to hear the stories of so many families that have been affected like ours--with miracle babies. It was a very enjoyable way to start the day!

Thank you so much for walking and for supporting the March of Dimes. Your photos are great! Looks like you had a lovely route with perfect weather. It rained cats & dogs where we were, but people still Marched for Babies. A great event with an important cause.
