A few weekends ago, we went to Sam's Family Fun Day. It's a carnival that a family in Rockwell puts on every year to raise money for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Their son, Sam, is a little younger than Baden and he has Duchenne too. We have gone to the carnival the last two year and it is so much fun. We enjoy doing the Stride and Ride every year as a fundraiser, but I think putting on something like this would be so much fun. For now we'll continue to work with the MDA, but maybe someday we'll venture out on our own.
The kids loved all of the activities - well, except Porter and the train. He thought he wanted to ride the train but then when I lifted him up to put him on he completely freaked out. And every time I asked if he wanted his face painted, he would put his hands on his cheeks and firmly say no. The girls loved getting their faces painted and Baden took his turn trying to make a field goal. He also experienced life as a hamster. They had these really cool human sized hamster balls. Baden loved it, but he did say he flipped way too many front flips in a row.
