The Making Strides Against Breast Cancer was today. Most of the Vance women walked the five miles this morning (some happier than others). The above picture was taken at the very beginning of the walk - Laura, Brianna, Brenda, Alex, Mom (hiding in back), Val, and Aunt Carol.
There were around 10,000 walkers and the American Cancer Society hoped to raise half a million dollars at today's walk.
The walk started at Cottonwood Mall, went down Rio Grande and then turned on to the walking/bike trail that runs along the river. It was a beautiful day. We saw a baby horse, baby sheep, baby ducks, and lots of geese. We also picked out some houses which we would like to live in some day.
Here we are walking down Rio Grande.
This is a picture from the walking trail. The Rio Grande is on the left and the irrigation ditch on the right.
At the end of the walk there was juice and fruit. Here is Alex enjoying her after walk snack.

When I first saw the picture of the irrigation ditch, I thought it WAS the Rio Grande. I hope the Rio Grande is wider!
