A Day of Champions

Wow, I got to be involved (somewhat) in a great event put on at Tumwater High School. It's called A Day of Champions and it's to celebrate all the kids in the area who are physically and/or developmentally disabled. Let me tell you, it was so awesome seeing these kids participating in races and other events. The smile on their faces when they completed an event said it all for them! But let me tell ya, there were other champions there. The teachers and leaders who show up to work every day because they want to and they love those kids, I applaud them as champions ...

and the parents, the people who nurture and love their children no matter what and face the challenges right alongside them, to me, they are the greatest of champions.

Dalton & Dayton supporting their brother Devlen.

Devlen the Champion

Having a great time!!

Me and Dayton on garbage duty. Our responsibilities included keeping the water stocked for thirsty athletes and volunteers, taking care of the garbage and cheering on the participants! We were awesome!!!
