Sunday, October 6th was the Down Syndrome Association of Atlanta's Buddy Walk and it was a perfect fall day. It was held at the Olympic Centennial Park in downtown Atlanta again this year.
Jack enjoyed getting his picture taken with the Star Wars characters but when the Superhero's showed up Wyatt would only enjoy them from afar - even though he LOVES them.
But the biggest draw was the bounce houses.
Wyatt made it through the maze and down the slide...
...as did Jack...
...but Ethan was content just to play in the bottom bouncy area. In fact, we couldn't get him out of it!
We played for awhile.
Then it was time to line up to walk.
My boys!
This year was great because Ethan was finally able to walk it - in fact we had to run to keep up with him for most of it.
But he crossed the finish line all on his own!
And got his medal.
Then it was back to the play area for more fun.
Wyatt enjoyed some popcorn while Jack went to play a video game in the game truck.
Then Ethan was off to play in the obstacle course.
Over and over again!!
He was so proud of himself.
It was such a nice afternoon and we got done early enough that we headed over to the zoo for an hour or so - benefits of being Zoo Members.
It was our best zoo visit ever as ALL the animals were out.
We had seen parts of the lion before, laying on top of his rock napping, but NEVER walking around. He made several loops while we were watching.
Then over to the giraffe's.
We got to see them up close too, along with a zebra who was eating right in front of us.
And this was the best view of the tiger we had ever seen too!
Jack took this picture of the turtle.
Then on to the panda bears, which is usually Ethan's favorite that we can't drag him out of.
However this time he was having too much fun swinging from the railing that he couldn't be bothered with the pandas.
This is really great OT for him!!
And I think this was the first time that we EVER saw the snow leopard out.
And then there is the rare Mama Bear, that rarely gets photoed.
It was such a great day!!!
