The Walk For Autism went really really well!  DJ had a good time.  One of his school friends was there and his mother was the girl I was knew in high school.  She has 3 kids, every one of them cuties!  Three of my cousins also came along with Mommy Dearest.  PIC couldn't attend because she had class yesterday and actually she has been MIA since Friday.  Answer your phone!

Anthony Edwards (former ER doc) was one of the celebrites at the walk and I was pleasantly surprised he wasn't kept “hidden” in the back.  He was out mingling with everyone.  He graciously took pictures, gave hugs and autographed everything.  I thought that was really cool.  Unfotunately NONE of us brought a camera, so no pics.  I didn't go up to him but Mommy Dearest did and one of my cousins did as well.  They brought my son and his friend up with them to have an “excuse”:)  He also did the walk and was talking to people during it.  Definitely “just one of the guys”.

Many goodies received!  We all received t-shirts that were actually sized properly.  Unfotunately I couldn't wear mine becuase I had put on a black bra that morning:(  DJ wore his proudly.  They also handed out a bag containg a book for the kids.  All different titles, but good books.  Plenty of resource tables.  I picked up so much information.  I had brought my backpack with me.  It was filled so I had to grab a bag and start filling that up.  My shoulders were aching last night.  I purchased a hat and a calendar.  I also picked up a car magnet but for some reason falls off my car.  I must be doing something wrong.

DJ and I completed about 2m of the walk.  He wasn't tired.  He was just moseying along and stopping and looking at things climbing up on things, things like that.  The one time I thought he was right next to me and he was about 10 people behind me!  Scared the bejeezus out of me.  I decided then and there that were finished.  We stopped at an opening with some benches and such along with DJ'ds friend from school and his fam.  The kids played until Mommy Dearest finished her last laps.  Then we went and checked out the resource tables.

All in all...a very nice day.  Fresh air and exercise.  DJ had fun which means I had fun.  There were lots of things set up inside for the kids to play with while we walked around.
