Weekend 2

Yesterday the 3 of us staying here over the weekend took a day trip to Tyler Texas. It was nice to be in a bigger city for awhile. We had a full day of shopping. Of course had to have a mani-pedi. We found a crazy coffee shop on our way and had to use it as a shameless photo op.

They had painted a bunch of horses on their fence, so I had to feed them.

Air Roasted with a kick!

  Camp Independence is staring today here at SFA. It is a group of visually impaired kiddos who come for a week to do fun camp activities that are modified for them if necessary. For example they are going to have a meet and greet after dinner tonight as well as ice cream. Tomorrow they are doing driving, archery, swimming, rock wall climbing, cooking, etc. I am excited for Tuesday when we go play beep baseball!

I know you are still wondering how in the world these kids are going to drive and shoot a bow and arrow safely. The college hosts this camp every year and they have special areas set aside. The driving will be in golf carts on trails, not on the road and with a guide for verbal directions. The archery is set up where there is no danger of them hitting anything living. The driving is a big deal for them because if you think about it, That is one thing they cannot do that their friends will get to do when they are 16. Imagine all of your friends being excited about their drivers license and you never get one. Depressing huh? This camp allows them the opportunity to experience driving safely so they will at least be able to relate the experience.

The kids start to arrive tonight at 5. Fun and exciting week ahead. The little kids are this week, and the bigger kids are next week. Woo hoo!
