7/16/16 Rebecca and David Birthday Party

     One of the best parts of having a 15 passenger van is being able to take friends with us. This morning around 8:30 we picked up 3 of Rebecca's friends (Chrissy, Missy and Brinly) and 3 of David's friends (Lincoln, Cooper and Cameron) and we drove over the the Riverview Park. 

      We did cupcakes and presents first so that we could play in the water during the hotter part of the morning. 

     Here is David reading Cooper's card. 

     Rebecca had a chance to practice her communication skills. Her friends didn't realize that Rebecca wanted to play a different game. At first Rebecca closed down. Heidi talked to them and quickly things got better. 

     The park has a fun splash pad. If you zoom in you can see TJ and Joseph in green shirts. 

     Peter took a good nap. When he awoke he thought about being cross but cheered up quickly when I took him to the water. 

   Heidi asked me to help start a new game. 

     We gave the kids cups that they could fill and use to splash each other. 

     This seemed to bring out the smiles. Here is Rebecca helping Peter fill his cup. 

     Some of the kids also enjoyed climbing the huge rope web in the park. 

   Brynlee and Missy climbed to the top. 

   So did Cameron. David, Lincoln and Cooper are lower down in this picture. 

     Overall then kids reported that this was the highlight of the day. David said that he slipped and fell twice but was still glad we went. 

     Heidi and I got to have a fun tech project in the afternoon. An AV cart for the church library came in the mail. We assembled it, mounted the TV and figured out how to fit three TV carts in one small closet. We also worked on a printer issue in the clerk's office. Heidi is a fun person to have on your team.
