Saturday Afternoon in The Park- Buddy Walk NYC 2009

Opening Ceremony with the MC John C. McGinley
McGinley and fellow actor Chris Burke formally welcome all 96 teams.
The back of our Team Milestones (an obvious choice) t-shirt
And we are off through the park!
Strolling with Dada and Uncle Clark
Over 2,000 walkers in all participated on this glorious (65 degree-ish) day.
Miles refused to get his medal from McGinley, so McGinley dropped it on my head. This is the closest we could get to an actual celeb-opportunity photo because the walk ran all the way through his regular nap time block (11 to 3).

Side note: the medal barely fit over my head. McGinley gave it one good tug and then moved onto the next family. My gourd is big, but I also have most hair ever award to boot.
Champion Miles at the finish line! Do I look proud? I should because I was bursting at the seams.
Group hug with the grandparents.
One of my favorite team shirts. Picked up new design ideas for next year.
"Drums from Heaven" provided the walking music.
Miles wanted to get in on the drumming action.
Clark makes a comment on some interesting paramilitary dudes who crashed our party. I think the camo must have gone to their brains because, clearly, they were not invisible. Upon leaving the party, we saw their encampment and piles of food taken from the Buddy Walk. Lifting from a charity event hardly counts as roughing it.
Dance party revisited.
Uncle Clark and Little Man Miles rocking monocles.
