Well, I did it! I finished the March of Dimes walk and boy was I exhausted! We had to be at the starting place by 7:30 a.m.! We made it by 7:15 and immediately saw Grandma Domo and Auntie Sonya waiting for us. There were lots of other babies there walking too but I bet they didn't prepare for the walk like I did! We started out down a really big hill with tons of other people. Some of them had brought their dogs along for the walk. One was so big, I could have ridden him like a horse! Auntie Sonya said it was a Great Dane. We walked by a stream for awhile and crossed several bridges before going around a big lake to reach downtown. We took a break at a coffee shop because Auntie Sonya wanted to make a potty break (she doesn't wear diapers like I do) and it was time for me to have some moo juice. It wasn't much longer before we began to walk uphill and it took forever to reach the top!
It took us all morning to walk the 8.5 miles! Mommy and Auntie Sonya were really glad to be done. Their legs and feet hurt from walking so far. Did you know that my Grandma Domo is a walking champ? Wow, she's fast! She walked with me several times!
When we were done and back at the park, we were treated to some surprises! There were lots of balloons, music and food! We had pizza, mexican and ice cream! The double chocolate flavor was my favorite. :) There was a booth where Mommy tried to get my fingerprints registered, but it didn't work -- I was too wiggly! The cop guy said that she might have to wait until I was three years old. Sheesh! What's he thinking?? That's a long time from now! Oh well, I can have a chat with him at next year's walk. As an official friend of the police (I even have a badge!), I can do that.
I'm thinking though that I need to let Mommy and Auntie Sonya borrow my walker so they can do more training before next year's walk and then their feet and legs won't hurt so much!
