31 for 21 Sibling Sunday: RYKER'S FIRST BUDDY WALK

Little brother Ryker experienced his first Buddy Walk today at Atlanta's Centennial Olympic Park; and he had a blast!  He danced to the music, ate a ton of food, and roamed around making new friends everywhere (and playing with their soccer balls).  :)

Gwyneth had a rough start to the afternoon with a small "tantrum" from sensory overload I guess.  We had chosen a place on the grass to eat our lunch that was near a cornhole bean bag toss game.  Gwyn was upset, close to crying when I wouldn't let her hug me constantly, and refusing to eat for a while before I realized that she didn't like the nearby noise and actions of the bean bags hitting the wooden cornhole boards.  Luckily the game ended and she was willing to eat a tiny bit before the walking started.

This was the first year that Gwyn was able to get out of the stroller and walk across the finish line!  We are so proud of her.  I'm sure that next year, she will be walking without us holding her hand.
