8 years ago, Mario wooed me at the March for Life. I remember that time fondly...it was such an exciting time since it was my first time attending the MFL and I was able to participate in something I cared about, but also, to meet this guy who just after meeting for a short time, I felt was something special.
The last time I went to the MFL was 2 years ago with my dad, and my mom stayed at our house to watch MJ (it was a very cold day and I think he was sick). This year I was so lucky to have my good friends here who also have young kids take a limo bus to DC. It is the BEST way to go the March for Life if you have young kids. We were quite the crew... 4 moms, 9 kids (four years old and under), and 4 double strollers (add 1 more mom, kid, and stoller since another mom joined later). We were stopped several times and asked if we were a daycare... nope, they are all ours!
I know other people have some great pictures of the limo bus that I'll share later. Overall, it was great. Joey slept on the way there, while MJ watched the movie. It was a very cold day and slightly rainy, so I attached the cover from our bike trailer over the jogging stroller.

Overall, it was a great time. If I were to make this trip again with kids, I would definitely go with a group of moms with kids and get a bus. I might also consider tying balloons to our strollers so we wouldn't lose each other (which happened) and maybe grab an extra friend or even a dad to push another stroller so big kids who were tired could hop in.

Aww, I love how you started this post off with the story of how and Mario got together. I am very impressed with you and your friends' ability to bring 9 children (and the double strollers) to the March! Cute pictures of the sleeping boys :)
I am so impressed that you made the effort with Mario and Joey to participate in the March for Life. I pray that someday the US Supreme court will allow the unborn the same rights as their mothers and value life again and make this nation the light of the world. And I hope all of the women and /or young girls who kill their babies because they may become an "inconvenience" to their lives realize that the gift of life is much more precious than anything they could possible obtain on this earth.
