Special Olympics - Event 1

Hey hey hey!! Happy FriYAY afternoon!  I had originally really wanted to pop on in a coffee shop this morning and do my 30 minutes of writing there, but that was not in the cards as today was our first Special Olympics game of the season.  So this morning was a little busy with me getting my walk in and getting ready to see my girl do her thang!  Special Olympics always starts out with bowling and that is the cutie cakes favorite event.  

Y’all her school had THE MOST PRECIOUS send off for these kiddos this morning.  I thought I was video taping the whole send off but alas I never hit record …insert big sigh…. But just believe me when I tell you how spectacular and special it was. The ENTIRE school came out with cheering, posters, high-fives, the band playing - Y’ALL - it was simply over the top.  I know it was overwhelming for the kiddos, gracious I was overwhelmed albeit in a different way.  I was crying at the end!! This mama heart will forever remember what those teachers and students did for my girl and her classmates. I am so glad I had a front row seat to it this morning. 

Off to the bowling alley we went where my girl bowled til her heart was content. She was really excited about bowling at home and her daddy even commented that she was a pretty good bowler to which she responded “I SURE am!”  Not sure that excitement transferred to the bowling alley LOL. She maybe didn’t have her BEST bowling game ever -but she played and participated and we are so proud of her! We got to see old friends and teachers and even make some new ones today.  All in all it was a great day! 

I am the luckiest to be that girls mama and have a front row seat to all life has for her.
