So on May 2 we went down to Idaho Falls to Freeman Park to participate in the MS Walk 2009. The park is right along the river and is just so nice. Both Scott's dad and younger sister have been diagnosed with MS and that's why we wanted to participate this year. It was a really nice day. Not to hot and not to cold. Completely unusual for Idaho Falls in May. It was a 3K walk. I ended up seeing some of my old friends from my ward in Pocatello. So I ended up walking with them and catching up with them on everything that was happening in their life and also telling them about what's up with our life in Boise. It was alot of fun. There were some minor injuries as the day went on. I started the day having back spasms through the whole walk. Scott's nephew on he first loop went down a little hill on his bike and lost control and biffed it off his bike. Later that day they found out that he had actually broken his arm right above his wrist. Scott's sister's family decided to keep going even though Kolby had wiped out and on the second lap on that same hill Kylee ended up going down it on her razor scooter and it looked like she was going to make it until the very last when the wheel turned and she wiped out also. She ended up with just some minor scraps on her knee and her elbow. I thought it was going to look worst then it ended up being. Needless to say Amber is saying that next year no one is going to be riding anything with wheels unless it is the kids sitting in the wagon being pulled along the route.
After we finished Scott got a little bit competitive and said that next year he is actually going to try and get some donations and a group of people to participate because there was a group there with about fifty people together participating. He wants to get a huge group of people there and get our own shirts made up for it and everything. So that will be something else for him to add to his plate.
