Step Out Diabetes

Team Members:
My Nieces Desiree and Pricilla Gomez.
My Boys Louis and Michael and myself.
My mom and my sister(Abby and Xiomara.
My friend and coworker Melinda her Daughter Moni and her son Ethan.

Our reasons for picking this cause:
We choose this cause because each of us in our team knows someone with Diabetes, most closest to us is Carol my best friend and sister-in-law she is also my niceses mom. My friend Melinda did it for her mom.

It was a nice day for a walk. We walked through downtown LA. We started in near City Hall, then passed Placita Olvera, we were greeted with fortune cookies at Chinatown, then we passed through the Our Lady of the Angeles Cathedral, we were impressed with the Disney concert hall then back to city hall. The kids really enjoyed themselves.
I am very proud of everyone in our team as together we raised almost $1000.00!
THANK YOU all of you that helped sponsor us!

Bishop, Mammoth, and Yosemite CA

We just came back from our mini road trip vacation. We first camped out at Bishop near Mammoth Lake. The next day we drove up to Lake Mammoth were we hike up to see Devils Post Pile.( A rock formation made from Lava many moons ago)We stayed there overnight and the next day we drove to Yosemite. We had many stops along the way. We stopped to see Red Rock Canyon about an hour away from Lancaster. We stopped and had a picnic and a small hike at Convict Lake. Yosemite our last stopped was so amazing that I really think we are going back to spend more time there to really enjoy everything it has to offer.
