Rock wall climbing.....

The first week in July Carly wanted to go rock wall climbing at a local REC center. She LOVES it and has no problem scaling up the giant wall.
We had a great time!!
Go Carly go!!!

At the end........she decided to have a race with her dad. They were neck and neck until the very top!! Guess who won???? I will say..the younger of the two!!!

I am sure she will be asking to go again real soon!!

Harry Potter Camp.........

Carly got to attend Harry Potter camp again this year at Booneshoft. She had a great time and made some new friends to boot!!

Harry, Ron , Hermine & Carly

Wingardium leviosa!!!

Camp visit......

Brother Julian got to go to camp again this year.
We paid him a visit one day and this is what Carly got to do.

The ball pit is ALWAYS FUN!!!!

Swinging.......

and then.........
Horseback Riding!!
This nice family comes every year at camp to let the special needs kids ride their horses.
It's always a highlight of camp.
Having a special needs brother is fun.........

Porkchop the pony!!!

See Julian.......like this. Nothing to be afraid of!!

I know for sure she'll want to visit again next year!!!

Last days at SCA..........

It's hard to believe she has been at Salem Christian academy since pre-school. We will miss many folks and families. They have all given Carly a good base on which she can fall back on when she needs to. We are VERY grateful for that.

6th grade graduation.........

Recess!!

Old friends will be missed.....

The CLAP OUT!!!!

TV Crew Gang

Thanks Mrs. "M" and Mrs. Potts!!! We will miss you.

Fishing.....

In June the family got to go to a fishing event for special needs kids. Carly was reluctant to go but as you'll see below who caught most of the fish!!!
It was a great day with lots of sunshine and free food. We also met many new friends that day including Mr. Tony. He was Carly's helper for the day. We were not even sure that Carly would get to fish and we re willing to pay for her; but, the owners of the pay pond were nice enough to let her fish too, for free.

This BIG GUY was getting released into one of the ponds.

EVERYONE quickly got their poles in the water!!!

We had such a fun day. The best part for us............... it was ALL free!!
Judging from these photos I don't think Carly will be as reluctant next year.
Thank you Rainbow Lakes and Montgomery County DDS (developmental delay services)!! We'll see you all next year!!!
