Arianna’s Awesome Walk

First let me send a big sloppy hug and kiss to all of you who supported me and all my Angel friends as we walked for Angelman Syndrome this past Saturday.  We chose to go ala Canada and walk in Montreal with Maggie, Simon, Arianne, Luca, Emma and tons of supporters!  We had a blast, although it was raining and cold (of course I didn’t mind, the colder and wetter the better) somehow my parents kept wanting me to be covered up and stuff, whatever!  The thing I like best about going on long trips is that I get free in flight movies and all the snacks I can eat!  Can we do this every weekend?  We got to stay at this really fun hotel, Maggie and her parents were there too!  We got to hang out and eat and play.  Since it was raining that made us tired real fast so we couldn’t go out and see the sights, but momma promised we’d come back and see all of Montreal.  We did notice there was a starbucks on every block (good thing, cuz I pulled a lot of sleepless midnight hours).  Checkout the new photo album called Montreal Road Trip. 

Shouting out to Philly Gals: Aunties Jeannie, Rissa, & Cathy.  Thanks for walking for me in Philly.  Hope you had a little better weather!  Send us pics to link to the blog.. 

Thanks to Bubbe who walked in Jacksonville Fla!  I heard it was 98 degrees there, way too hot for me, I hope the other Angels there had air conditioners in their strollers!

More thanks going out to Nana, who kept me out of trouble all weekend!  And a special thanks to the Canadian folks who helped us get to Montreal and understand the way of the French Canadian!  Sohpie, Paul, Christine, Jason, Isabelle, Mario, Erin, Rob, and the kids (Luca, Emma, Megan, Sydney, Arianne, Marilou, & Maggie) We can’t wait to visit again!

You can still contribute to our walk a thon website, it will be active til July (in case you haven’t had a chance or you know someone who did not get the word.)

Coming up this week… we travel to Cleeeeveland to see Auntie Melissa and watch her pretty sister Lizzie get married to a really cool guy (Ricky).  We also get to see the rest of the Somrack clan and their way neato el pacas.  Yippeee another road trip, more movies and snacks! 

We were successful in getting a state recognition of Angelman Syndrome Awareness day for last Saturday during the walk.  Momma got a call from Gov Pataki’s office as we were driving to Montreal.  We will be getting an official copy of the proclamation soon! 

Pfew, I’m tired.  Busy weekend, with a busy week ahead of us… have to rest up so I can pull the all nighters again this weekend!  Love one another and snuggle up it’s a chilly one today.  Happy Monday!- Arianna
