After he got home we packed up the family and headed over to Veteran's Park for the annual Great Strides CF Walk. (Cystic Fibrosis) What a FUN family experience. A friend who serves in Young Women's with me has 2 boys who suffer from CF. What a trial they have been dealt. The boys take over 25 pills a day and have to get hooked up to this machine every day for an hour and a half that shakes their chests to loosen up the mucus that accumulates. We met up with many friends in our ward who were there volunteering and supporting the walk. We had so much fun! There were games for the kids, music provided by all of these elderly people from the local retirement home (absolutely HILARIOUS), a raffle and more. We walked for 2 miles along the greenbelt with kids in tow...it was such a great time!
This last picture is of the old person band. The oldest member was 97 years old! I think I will book them for Nate's 30th birthday coming up this August....haha. Just kidding hon!
After the walk we raced home and cleaned up the house to get ready for my mom's birthday! We met over at Louie's for dinner and then came over to our house for games and cake and ice cream. Nat and Robby and Grandma came too and we had fun playing the name game (good game idea Kristina...thank you!). So...Happy Birthday again Mom! I am so lucky to have you in my life! I couldn't raise these 3 boys without you!
We were all pretty tired by the end of the day and had a hard time getting up Sunday morning. Church comes all too early at 8:30AM!
