Best Shot Monday: Kicking it in pink kicks on Sunday afternoon

On Best Shot Monday over at Tracey's blog, she asked us to share a photo from our weekend. This shot is of my daughter kicking it in her pink Converse on the field at Angels Stadium during the Orange County Down Syndrome Association's Buddy Walk. This is well after the walking portion of the day, as we waited for The English Beat (watch video of them performing Twist and Crawl here) to take the stage.

Check out my full story of The Buddy Walk over at OC Family.

Funny side story about these pink Converse: Ben begs me to throw them away because he once had a  bad dream about them. In the dream, they came running down the hallway all by themselves and tried to "make" him eat an orange (which he maintains is the worst fruit ever). He didn't even want me to post this picture because it gives him the creeps. I think they're cute.

I love these shoes. I have them in grey and on the way from Nordstrom in black and brown. Love them.

That is funny. Poor Ben. I know lots of men who are afraid of women and their fruit-toting shoes;)

My girls love thier converse too. As far as I know, they don't walk by themselves...if they did, I would hope they could manage to get back in the closet without my help!

I get Ben. I have a fear of peeling paint for just such a reason. Except for the oranges part. I totally love oranges.

Cute story about the shoes!

Those shoes are far too clean to walk by themselves. That usually only happens after they get really stinky and dirty.

All my kids wear converse...I think we own just about every color/style! My personal fave is black on black that Crew Cuts (J. Crew for kids) is carrying right now.

LOVE the pink Converse. My girl has a red pair and they may be her most prized possession.

Aw so sweet. Tell her I rock the pink converse too. And black and off white and chocolate brown and....

I heart converse.

Tell Ben I will put them all away if he would just come visit me again. I heart Ben too.

I love that he thinks that the orange is the worst fruit ever. And pink converse being a nightmare for him? I love that too. This post just made me laugh. Sheesh! He's cute.

Love the Converse's, pink shows are the best. I will be hard pressed to get my boys to wear any...maybe I go snag a pair for myself!

Pink converse are the best!!! Sisters can be a challenge. My heart goes out to Ben . . . to a 5-year-old (who tries his best to be VERY brave), this is serious stuff. "SO-SO" (Ben's "special friend") may be able to help convince him his courage will overcome. Great story/picture/Event!!
