Special Olympics

















It was so fun to have my Aunt Sue and Grandma visit Boise for the Special Olympics. My Aunt has been a volunteer and coach for the Special Olympics for years and now that she is retired, she was able to come up and volunteer. It was so neat to see how the community got together for this wonderful event. It also meant a lot to have my family in town. We always enjoy spending time together. They got to experience the Boise weather in February, which is a lot different than California where they live. As part of the Olympic festivities, there were all of these beautiful hand made scarves that people could purchase or get free for volunteering. We had to show our Olympic spirit and wear them with pride. It is neat to see how all of the scarves are different and to see people wear them around town.
