Walking in the race
Getting ready for the race
Mommy getting Ava pumped for the Walk!
The Cooler Crew:
Adam, Abbey, Ava, Grammy, Doc, Brad, Carri, Hudson and McClellen
NICU friends: Melissa and Noah with Abbey and Ava
"Let's go March of Dimes!"
Ava wanted to push her stroller rather then ride in it!
Today was the March of Dimes Walk for healthy babies! It was a great treat for Doc and Grammy and Brad, Carri, Hudson and McClellen to come out and support Ava in her first March of Dimes walk. Our team was call the Cooler Crew! During the race everyone on the Cooler Crew team wore a light purple bandanna. It represented that Ava was born premature. Ava was excited to see her NICU friends Noah and Katelyn during the walk. Ava, Noah and Katelyn were all in the NICU at the same time. In fact Ava and Katelyn were roommates! The Walk took place at Marietta Middle School and was 3 miles. Everyone did really good on during the race, though there was a little bit of fussiness (from the kiddos) by the end of the Walk.
After the Walk concluded, the Cooler Crew went to have lunch at Gabriel's in Marietta (yummy!). This is a special place for us because during the 57 days that Ava was in the NICU I think I (Abbey), at there at least 50 times. It just had a homey feel and delicious food. It was definitely a perfect place to take a deep breath, eats some great food and get recharged.
