Autism Speaks Walk at the Zoo

The kids and I attended the Autism Speaks walk at the zoo last Saturday. It is our second year to attend. Evan's friends Kade and Konner are twin brothers. We attend the walk in support of Konner and his family. Evan and Kade are in pre-K together this year. Most all the boys, if not all of them are super crazy about Star Wars. So it was an extra special feature to have Star Wars caracters at the walk. These guys came from a galaxy far far away in Houston, TX. In this picture this guy is letting Konner wear his helmet. He wanted to do something really cool for Konner, which was really cool, but it so didn't stop with Konner. Almost every kid present took their turn trying on the helmet.

This is Andie checking out the stormtrooper. She kept patting and rubbing his leg. It took me a little bit to get through the crowd to rescue the stormtrooper from my admiring girl.

Here is the gang. Five of these guys are in pre-K together. Konner is on the far right, with Kade and his light saber right beside him. You might see the top of Dean's head beside Evan. He is still staring at the stormtrooper in amazement.
