The line behind us
The line ahead of us.Nana and Pop came with us. Pop was a good sport. He wasn't expecting so many people and was not exactly comfortable with the sheer numbers. He hung in there though. I don't think he realized how many people are touched by Down Syndrome.
I think the thing that struck me was EVERYONE had a smile on their face. We (as in families touched by Down Syndrome) don't think of it as a sad thing. These kids are amazing and make so many people happy. So the next time you see someone with Down Syndrome, do not feel sad. Do not pity. Be happy, we are.
It was a joyous occasion!
Nana and Pop and the Oooties!
The Fam!
Nothing like a lot of wind and bright sunshine to get that good squint!
The Twins!
So, you might say to yourself, why in the middle of Georgia would you dress these kids in ORANGE. I think that is obvious. What is not so obvious is that child safety 'specialist' will tell you if you are going to be in a big crowd where the possibility exists that your child could wander away(and not be able to tell someone their name, etc), dress them in something that will set them apart. They were the only 2 in Tennessee orange today.

I was a little worried about the orange, particularly the orange & blue Auburn!!
Funny, I didn't know he had grabbed that jacket until we were there. It's 2 sizes too small. In fact, Sawyer wears it to school. There were a few Auburn fans there, even a few with UT hats. None though in Orange and White but my 2.
