[/caption]Our 3-year-old neighbor, Juna, summed up the day when she proclaimed, "I loved it! Can we do that again?" What was not to love--the huge bouncy house, the live music, or the tables and tables filled with food (Ben's favorite part all the chips you can eat--Ellie would've been proud). All that AND helping make dreams come true along with some incredible friends? Today was the first Walk for Wishes in Madison. The day started rainy and cool. Then just as the coordinators announced that we could walk or not, it was up to us, the weather started to clear. As we walked, we saw a heron along a creek

Two moms, Diana and Mary, saw signs about the walk at Ben's school and participated. Ellie's classmates arrived in hats they fancied themselves. Ellie's third grade teachers joined the team. Esther brought her entire Girl Scout troop (who somehow kept ending up on stage and will be mentioned on the radio tomorrow). Even my best ever Zumba instructor, Ari, arrived with her daughter. Unfortunately, we did not get a group photo, so you will just have to imagine a group of smiling, wet, children and adults in fancy hats (which we wore in honor of Ellie's incredible hat collection.) A huge thanks to everyone who joined our team, whether you were there in person or in spirit!
