Today, Saylee's class was invited to attend a "carnival" targeted with activities for delayed kids. It was put on by the S.H.O. kids (students helping others) at Highland Jr. High. I was excited to go but was a little nervous. Her outings are either AWESOME or THE WORST IDEA EVER and I'm never quite sure which one it's going to be!
Say and her teach Miss. Kristina
(whom I love and do NOT want to lose her)
getting her name tag on
The day started with sing along in the gym... out of 150 kids, Saylee is the ONLY child that did not want to go through those doors!
I think she really wanted to, but her fear of big places wasn't having it.
first station: puppets
she loved this lil' bat
Then bubbles...
Next was the car wash
(students rode through a tent on tricycles and the kids sprayed them)
Now what you aren't seeing is that every second I wasn't taking a picture of her, I was chasing her around this whole shabang...I LITERALLY ran over 2 miles today!
Hopscotch
(she miraculously already knew how to play??)
Most the time, this is how I contained her...
(go on judge me, I dare you!)
obstacle coarse showcasing Saylee's cat like speed & agility!

takin' a break
(Say snapped this shot)
She pretty much lost interest about an hour into it...she just splashed around for awhile.
Everytime she bolted from me was to try to get to this guy, the grand finito...the castle bounce house. Of coarse when we finally got there, she didn't want anything to do with it.
...which was conviently located on the baseball field. This is the part where I let her run free through her natural habitat...mother earth!
The clouds came in, the wind kicked up and I was exhausted. We hit QT then headed home. I got some exercise and no one's ears bleed from Say's "sound barrier-breaking" scream so i call today a win-win! This lil' lady knows how to keep me on my toes!
