Buddy Walk 2010

This morning, we participated in The Upside of Down's Buddy Walk, in support of a young man in our ward who has down syndrome, and the other special children in our area.
Before the walk, Grace got her face painted and a Blues Clues "tatoo" at a couple of the booths they had set up, and then we hung out with our friends from the ward who had also come and danced to the music.
For the walk, we did one loop around the outside of Progressive Field (Indian's Stadium), and one loop around the Field itself. We even got to sit in one of the dugouts!! It was really cool!
Then afterwards, we ate a nice lunch that they provided in the stands, and headed home.
It was a neat experience to be there with those special kids and all of the people who love and support them. We had a great time!

Holloway Reunion 2010--Part I

Jason and Mindi and their kids were the first to arrive for our Holloway Reunion (last Saturday night). We wanted to do something fun just for the kiddos before Anita, Dave, Tyler & Tia come tonight, so we headed out this morning to one of our favorite spots--the Memphis Kiddie Park!

Here we are on the Carousel (Grace & I, Jenna, and Mindi & David):

Grace is finally learning to love it!

What a big girl!

David & Mindi had fun on it too :)

Jason and Mindi forgot to bring their camera on the trip, so we took some pictures of them and the kids on the rides. So guys, these pics are for you!

Cailyn and Jessica riding the crazy cars. Cailyn loved it; Jess, not so much.

But she was a cruisin' cat in her racecar!

Jason and David went on the kiddie coaster (aka the Little Dipper):

Up up up!

Way to go David!

It took Jess a little bit of convincing to get on the Carousel, but once it was going and the music was playing, she loved it!

Look at that smile!

Hugs ;)

Grace was too young to ride most of the rides, but she didn't care. She loved walking around and watching her cousins instead!

(Note: This was Grace's first time wearing pigtails!)

Hangin' out with Jenna, Cailyn, and Jess:

We had a great time at the park, and will definietly be back! =)

Check back soon for Part II of our Holloway Reunion!
