Saturday we went to the Spina Bifida Association's "Walk n Roll". I thought it would be a good way to show the girls what Amy has has a name, and there are other kids like her. A lot of kids in wheel chairs and many kids with the Kiddie Gate that Amy got a few weeks ago to help her walk. It was fun. One thing that I have found to be so important for our family is a sense of solidarity with other families that have similarities with us. Whether it's special needs, adoption, international adoption, infant loss and on, it's just a great sense of support to join with others on the same road we are traveling.
Being the day before Halloween, the kids could come to the walk dressed up, so the girls put on their favorite outfits and strutted around. After the walk, there was a picnic and carnival games for the kids. They all got snow cones AND cotton candy AND candy. So much stickiness!
They did a great event. We look forward to the next event with the Spina Bifida Association.
