i walk, you walk, we all walk for alzheimers!!

my work is in a senior living corporations corporate headquarters, so this year i participated in the walk to end alzheimers.  i reached my monetary goal (thanks everyone for supporting!!! wooooooo!) and this morning was the actual walk around seattle center.  maya, alistair, q and i all walked.  
it wasn't as far as i thought it was going to be and it was also the only time that the 3 of us will ever be in matching tshirts.  we got there late and weren't in time for group pictures with our whole team, but it was still fun and i still took pictures!  it's an absofuckinlutely beautiful day here in seattle...a perfect day for a morning walk for a good cause.  i guess so far they've raised over $250,000 which is awesome!

this is the main area where all the booths and the stage was set up.  it's much larger than it looks...i didn't get all of it in one shot.

a ton of people brought their dogs, but this one was my favorite!  it was someone on our teams...so fantastic!

waiting in line to register...

and more waiting for the actual walk to start:

and we're off!

it was just a quick loop around seattle center and took under an hour.  afterwards there was door prizes and a flash mob.  everyone on our team was encouraged to participate, but i had a friend in town last weekend and coming home after work to practice dance moves just wasn't happening for me, so we watched.  it was pretty awesome.  we happened to be standing directly behind the people filming it and directly in front of the main people leading it.  great spot to see!







hah!  i love this one!

after the flash mob was over, we called it a day and went home.  first we had john from work take a picture of us so we could never forget that we all wore matching shirts:

q was totally over the whole morning and just wanted to go home and was helping alistair look at the bus schedule on the bus:

i love taking pics over my shoulder without looking:

and apparently the morning wore poor ol q out, so she fell asleep sitting up:
hahahahaha!  she is so cute!  do you like her matching turquoise lace?  so she matches our team shirts. *snicker*
