Not Much Walking

Today was our Arc walk. Thanks to everyone who donated - as of the beginning of the walk The Arc had raised over $4,000 and they expected that amount to triple before all donations were counted.
The weather report had predicted rain but we managed to get a nice, partly sunny morning. Here is Rudy dancing before the walk. Notice the bag of M&Ms in his hand. They were given out as we checked in at 9am. We made him wait until after we walked before he could eat them.

Of course they also had donuts available so he had one of them and a banana.

Glaring at me when I tried to take a picture of him dancing again.

The walk begins and what's the first thing Rudy wants to do? Take a break on the bench. Unfortunately, there were benches at almost every block of the walk. It was a very slow walk.

Besides benches there was also the boardwalk to sit on and admire the view. Any excuse to stop walking.

A few short minutes of running..

We got to the end of the boardwalk took a rest, had our picture taken, had some water and then turned around. Notice the water on Rudy's shirt? He was lying down on the bench and decided to try to take a drink. Paul and I were in the process of telling him he needed to sit up when he poured it all over himself. Hopefully, a lesson was learned.

Another break on the way back. This time sitting on the ocean side.

Slowly walking and stopping at every sign to ask what it says.

Once we got back to where we started there was more food, more music and a bouncer. As you can see from Rudy's face, he was finally allowed to eat his M&Ms.
