Before we even got out of the parking &#8220;lot&#8221; &#8211; a newly flattened field &#8211; I had serious doubts about the whole stroller thing&#8230;and by the time we got to the registration tent I realized that it was a huge mistake.  If I had known how awful the terrain would be I would definitely have used one of my slings to carry Carrie around in!  And the park had no changing facilities in the restrooms.  I think I shocked the people walking by when I changed Carrie&#8217;s diaper on the grass under a tree, but what was I supposed to do?  I guess the &#8220;bring your family&#8221; part of the invitation really only applied to children old enough to walk who were not in diapers.  All I know is, we won&#8217;t be doing this event again with a stroller &#8211; if we do it next year, when Carrie&#8217;s not really old enough to walk so far, maybe one of us will walk with the dogs and the other will wait with Carrie on the playground.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Molly and Murphy say &#8220;thank you very much&#8221; to all those who sponsored them on their walk.
