March of Dimes

This past Saturday, my best friend and her mom were walking in the March of Dimes in Newnan. They asked us if we would like to join them. How could we pass up walking for babies on such a beautiful day with great company.

Let me tell you too, it was a looooonnnnnnggggg walk.

Here we are waiting to get going, Gigi (Miss Donna) Payton, Me, and Auntie A

Payton was ready to get going. She loves to go on walks. She was a good girl the whole time.

This is were it started. It was a great turnout!

Here we are just walking and walking and walking. They said it was a 3 mile walk but we all agreed it had to be way more then 3 miles. If any of you are familiar with Newnan, we started in the Park downtown, and then made our way through all the historic neighborhoods, up around Newnan High School, back through the residential area, and circled back to the park. Whew- that makes me tired just typing it. But it was for a great cause!

And here's reaching the finish line. Look closely, GiGi is carrying Payton. She was tired of riding in her stroller I guess, and we had to carry her the last 1/2 mile. You wouldn't believe how heavy 17 pounds can be until you've walked 3 miles and have to carry her the last stretch. Good thing we took turns.

If you are not familiar with March of Dimes, they are a charity that sponsors research for premature babies and the complications that come along with being premature.

It was a great way to spend a Saturday morning. Even if my legs do still hurt!
