Ethan's class and their special "buddies" in the special ed class were invited to attend the Special Olympics. It was such a great day. Under the overcast skies and the chill that was in the air, these athletes tackled fears and competed against the limitations of themselves and others. Ethans buddy won a medal and there were other activities after the events were finished. We took movies of the other activities that we participated in and we got so many special treats, out there.
They lit the torch and prayed and had a puppet show and then, the games began. The motto was, Let me win, but if I can't win, let me be brave in the effort. There were so many brave athletes, we couldn't count them. Lots and lots of medals and smiles and Ethan acted as cameraman for alot of the races. We had a fabulous time!
