VisionWalk 2013

VisionWalk happened on the 22nd. I’m still amazed by all my family and friends that come out. I didn’t think I was going to raise much money but ended up raising $1,280!

and we saw Star Wars Characters!

It was a beautiful day. Every year it seems as the VisionWalk learns from the previous years to make it better. This year the speaking was not as long. The MAIN problem is. This walk is on a Sunday. Always Home Opener of the Vikings game. The walk is at 10:30am. This year they got the walk started really close to 10:30, in hopes of "finishing before the game starts".

In the past, my mom and I try to figure out what to do for after the walk. There’s been a few times that everyone (on my team of course), is invited back to my brother’s place, there’s the game and we provide food. One year we provided food there, and a radio. Last year back at my brother’s. I had decided this year to just stay at the walk. They now provide food there. Take advantage of that! There were brats, chips, string cheese, dilly bars, water. Well it ended up that we invited everyone back to my brother’s cause of the game. I was a little "eh" about that. I said I didn’t want all that. Well all in all. It did end up being a great time. Some of the people spent the time outside since people like ME, don’t give a flying hoot about football. Plus, it gets hard after awhile being in someone house that is not child proofed. I figured from now on we’ll just plan on doing it like this every year. Stay after the walk to enjoy the food and entertainment they provide, then go to my brother’s.
