Dancing, donuts and a good cause

I'll just start off by saying this is one of my favorite pictures of the kids, ever.

We have some friends who just had a baby with Down Syndrome, so we joined several hundred people this morning in an awareness walk for Down Syndrome research. We got to the starting site very early, so the kids entertained themselves by dancing (pictured above).

The morning did not start off quite so cheery, however. After going through the gamut of "I'm hungry," "I want to go home," and "How many minutes do we have left," the kids got over themselves and decided it wasn't so bad after all.

We walked about two miles, and Josh walked the whole route with minimal complaining.

The real fun began, however, when we returned to the event site to tables of free donuts and pizza at 10 a.m. Within minutes, Josh and Molly were back on the sidelines dancing, this time with donuts and pizza in hand. On the way home, Josh begrudgingly admitted that the day was "a little fun."
