Zeek throws a perfect strike ~ Cincinnatti, OH

Zeek, his parents, Betty & Corey, and his big brother Emanuel spent some time in Cincinnati, OH last week visiting local sights, meeting with March of Dimes sponsors and WalkAmerica teams...and even having the opportunity to throw out the first pitch a the REDS game...definitely a highlight, as well as a lasting impression on the town... Here the Taylor's receive a warm welcome from all the staff at the Cincinnati office

Zeek & Emanuel explore the Freedom Center and learn all about the Underground Railroad and how it shaped the lives of so many Americans
Then it was down to business...Zeek and Tom Browning, former Reds pitcher who pitched a perfect game, sign autographs during Citi's Carnival day for WalkAmerica!!!
Zeek and Emanuel participated in mostly ALL of the games they had available
...but most importantly the "wind" booth - where they had to collect as many "dollars" as possible to help support Citi's effort to save babies...
...Zeek took away the top prize with 35 points!!! Good work Zeek!!!

Betty and Corey looked on...they didn't want to mess up their hair :)
A view of the river from one of Cincinnati's many parks...
...and an early morning LIVE interview on Channel 9...a job well done!Then it was off to the Reds/Cubs game...where it turned out to be a VERY chilly day!
Here Zeek and local March of Dimes ambassador, Mackenzie try to warm up and toss a few pitches...

Once on the field, the two ambassadors worked the crowds...

...and the players as well!!!
Before the big throw...the news team at Channel 5 took a few minutes to interview the ambassadors
A last minute pep talk and advice from dad and Tom Browning
