Let's do it! Our Indiana Down syndrome Foundation Buddy Walk is in Indianapolis Saturday October 13th, so come on down/over/up! Here is what I have tentatively thought plan wise:
1. Friday Oct 12 - 14th
Hotel in Noblesville at the Fairfield Inn & Suites
http://www.marriott.com/hotels/hotel-information/travel/indnb-fairfield-inn-and-suites-indianapolis-noblesville/ This is very close to our house
17960 Foundation Drive Noblesville, Indiana 46060 USA Phone: 1-317-776-9900 rates look like about 90-100 a night. Indoor pool Check-in: 3:00pm Check-out: 12:00pm Continental breakfast free. To make reservations by phone, call 1-800-228-2800 in the USA and Canada. I am going to check with them this week about getting a group rate and blocking out about 20 rooms.
OR you can make your own reservation downtown Indianapolis as the Buddy Walk is there but I couldn't find good rates. Friday night if there are enough people in town we can meet up at Applebees or something....more later.
2. IRL will be at the IDSF Buddy Walk October 13th Saturday Indianapolis

Military Park at White River State Park, Indianapolis

Also will ask for ideas about forming a team to walk, name of the team, and T-shirts. Maybe Becky can decorate them on cafe express? I will stake out an area and have balloons designating our spot. Bring a blanket, any extras needed for your kids. There will be a sack lunch provided (hotdog, chips, banana, cookie, water/pop) but the Walk is long so bring strollers/wagons/joggers.
I think we will just hang at the IRL at Military Park until mid afternoon, then everyone can head to Noblesville to the hotel, unless you are staying in Indy. Up to you. Downtown Indy is great but couldn't find a hotel room less than 200 bucks. The zoo is right there, and Children's Museum too. Feel free to branch out and stay downtown Indy and then join us at the IRL in Noblesville.
Saturday night...not sure yet.....who wants to plan this?
3. SUNDAY OCT 14TH IRL at Nash's House 11-2pm in Noblesville. We will provide brats and hotdogs/buns. I will later provide a "bring" list once we know how many are coming. Plan on "creek" clothes. Yes Laura, we actually name them this as if you go in the creek you need to have clothes on that will or could be just thrown away! Then you get hosed down outside. Plan on a bonfire if it's chilly and plenty of outdoor activities. (hey who wants to plan these?) If its hot we have a water slide we will put up so bring a bathing suit. If it's raining, then everyone can pack up from the hotel and head for the movie theater in Noblesville or head for home, so lets hope for good weather!
How does that sound?
So...............who is coming? I will post this on the board as well as the IRL.
I love choas and fun, bring it on!
Jan and Nash 6!
