Autism Zoo Walk

This is our 2nd year to do the Autism Zoo Walk. My nephew, Cade, is autistic and every year his team "Chubs" gathers people to come do a zoo walk. This year, our shirts said "Caderade, thirsting for a cure". The zoo is lined with statistics and information about autism and the research that ASU has done on it. The research is funded by the donations from the zoo walk. Team Chubs was one of the largest this year.

Here's me and Todd before the walk.

Here's Papa and all the grandkids in the back of his truck while we were waiting to start.

As you can see, the kids were sufficiently wiped out after a long, hot morning at the zoo.

Living so close to Scott and Tracy, I have had the opportunity to get to know Cade better. We had never really made a connection before now. Now he seeks me out to say hi or sits next to me. He is a special boy and our relationship is special. I'm glad I had the chance to get to know him one on one. We love you Cade!
