On Saturday we (as a family) participated in the American Heart Association Tarrant County Heart Walk. Justin's former boss and mentor, Rob, was co-chair for the event. Justin worked really hard with AHA team to help organize the event. Justin also had a hand in organizing the Lockheed Group. Lockheed had over 1,000 folks walking in the event. Below are some pictures of the event.

Finishing strong, getting a little jog in during the walk.
I just love her smile here!

We actually walked the shorter track, 1 mile, versus the full walk of 3.5 miles. Justin had to get back to the Lockheed tent to setup for the post walk festivities.
Getting back before the rest of the crowd Emeline beat the lines for getting her face painted and then hitting the bounce house.
She had so much fun!
I took several pictures of the walk and Emeline decided that she wanted to join in on the picture taking. The photos below were all taken by her. And, these were not taken with a little point and shoot. These were all taken with my DSLR. I think we might have a little photographer on our hands. I just need to find her a camera her size.

Still warming up. You can even see Rob in the background.

Her picture of mommy. Yes, I had to scrunch down to get into the shot. With the bright sunlight she could not see the screen.
The walk was definitely a success. I am so proud of Justin and everyone else involved for all the hard work he put into helping organizing this event. I am sure this is one we will continue to do as a family for years to come.
