Sioux City Down Syndrome Awareness Walk

We participated in our first Down Syndrome Awareness Walk on Saturday and had such a great time!  The walk was in Sioux City and sponsored by Gigi's Playhouse, a Down Syndrome Awareness Center. My mom did a great job organizing our team and recruited her sisters and friends to help us represent our Super Clay.  My dear friend Becky joined us with her little ones and the kiddo's cape shirts were a big hit!  Thank goodness the weather was on our side and we enjoyed a nice, DRY walk.  There was face painting, crafts, a petting a zoo, a bounce house, and more....the kids could have stayed all day!  I really enjoyed meeting other families at the walk and seeing the kids with Down Syndrome grin from ear to ear as they had their moment in the spotlight.  Gigi House is a great organization and we were so happy to be a part of such a special day.  Thank you to all of you who walked with us!

Now time to gear up for the Omaha Buddy Walk!

Update - Wyatt made the news coverage!  He has about a 1/2 second claim to fame while getting his face painted.  He is about 44 seconds into the video.  Click here to see it!
