We attended the Autism Carnival at Wheeler Farm on Saturday and was I ever impressed. Everything was free! They had lots of blow ups for the kids. ( I was amazed at Boston's climbing ability and lack of fear..he just marched his cute little butt up the ladders and down the slides!) They had a train and facepainting and a bug hunt. Food, sand pits, all the star wars dudes (because Asperger's kids tend to LOVE Star Wars I was told!) We met our dear friends, Spencer, Michelle and Gene there and Boston couldn't wait to see his friend Spencer. He grabbed his hand and showed him around the place. (he can hold boys hands at 3..I think that is ok..we'll nip it in the butt later!)
I could just see in Jocey's eyes how badley she wanted to be a big girl, so I hauled her up the slides several times and she loved the train. They were both exhausted by the end of it all, but what a great event for these kids to look forward to. It is also so crazy to see how many people are affected by this disorder. The place was packed and it certainly made me realize that I'm not all alone. I'm sure we'll go for many years to come.

Glad you guys had fun! I too think Boston is super brave to climb his little butt way up there and slide down, alone.
When we took them to Jumpin' Jacks here Jocey was the brave one. Man she would go down any thing with a big smile on her face.
So fun, can't wait to see the kiddo, and you guys in the next few days.
We have a new great ice cream shop in town. We will have to go, I know Bossy doesn't really like ice cream but he can put gummy bears and gummy worms in it so maybe he will try some.
We went there for family night and Jack loved it, so I told him when Boston get here we will bring him! Jack keep reminding me so we will have to do it.
Love you guys, this is really long sorry!
What a fun day for the kids! And so great that it was free! Cute pics!
What a great event! Love the cute pics
