SpECIaL Olympics NatIonAls. 2.0.

Last week we had the National special olympics. it was very last minute but worked out wonderfully. I had two athletes that were able to come and they had a really great time. Three days of events! I took pictures on the last day because that's when everyone would be there. As last year, there was table tennis with one child who had a disability and one child that did not. There was short jump (although it should be long jump because that is the real event in special olympics) and athletics. While this is my third special olympics in the past year, it is exciting and incredible to see how it has caught on. I absolutely love that it is starting to gain so much acknowledgement. There was also a camera man. He has a disability and is successful in life. He and his coworker are creating a documentary about special olympics to share. It was an incredibly humbling experience to meet him.
