In September our family participated in the "Memory Walk" which is a walk to help end Alzheimer's.  I blogged about this a week before we walked.  Three of my relatives, including my grandma, have passed away with Dementia.  This was the first walk I had been a part of and it really was a good time. 

Here's the start

If my aunt and cousin are reading my blog, I'm sure they will be so happy I put this picture on!

Here's most of our family group

They had a little "memory garden" you could walk through as well.  The purple flowers represent someone who has passed away from Alzheimer's/Dementia, the blue flowers represent someone who has Alzheimer's who attended the walk, and the yellow ones represent caretakers of someone with Alzheimer's.  There was another color, orange, for people who were there as supporters.

It was a good day, even if both children were sick and James and I had sinus infections. :)  Uncle Josh always makes things better!
