JDRF Walk

We were so happy to be able to join our cousins, the Felkers, for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Walk in Kansas City this month. Ross (not pictured) is such a cool kid, and we're lucky to be a part of his family.

We started the weekend off by heading to Columbia on Thursday evening to watch the MU v. Nebraska football game. Being the true fans that we are, we stood in the pouring rain, only to watch the Tigers disappointingly lose the game in the 4th quarter. On Friday, we headed to KC to spend some time with our friends, the Benassi's. They generously put our family up for the night, and then joined us for the JDRF walk on Saturday morning.

We knew it was going to be cool the morning of the walk, but we still were not quite prepared for the close to freezing temperatures at walk time. We made due with what we had, which meant both kids wore multiple layers of clothes, with pajamas on top. I even forgot Ellie's tennis shoes, and since we only had crocs, which would be a little chilly with their holes, we pulled socks on over the top of her shoes. None of us were going to win any fashion awards, but our team shirts for Ross's Gator Crusaders definitely pulled our outfits together.
