Video Clips from Sp. Olympics

These are just two of the video clips I have. I was filming the 400 race and the batteries were dying and I didn't know it. I was too busy cheering! So I have about 5 secs. of the beginning race and 5 secs. near the end. If y'all want to see the 5 secs., just let me know and I'll try and post them.

MAY DAYS


Wow! May starts off hectic! We had Science Fair last night for the youngest. She had to burn candles to see which wax burned faster. (FYI - soy wax burns faster).


Then this morning, we were awake by --- I was awake at 5:30 to meet an 8:15 time in Grand Rapids. My oldest daughter - who suffers from undiagnosed cognitive issues - participated in Special Olympics for the first time ever! She was in Track and Field events - the 400m, 200m and Softball Throw. She ended up winning 2nd in the 400 and 3rd in both 200 and the Throw in her age division/heat. Guess we have a long distance runner and not a sprinter!


The weather was beautiful and we all had a blast!! I am putting up pics and video. The sun was shining so brightly and it was hard to see what we were filming and taking pics of, so some are a bit odd. Enjoy anyway!


FYI - We are in Area 16. She's standing right here beside me telling me to put Area 16. :) They did have an opening ceremony parade and I have some video and pics of that.
