Summer Fun

  I have been told the more you do something, the better you will get at it. So this summer, I hope to do some writing on my different adventures that I have, and I will try to include pictures. 

  Today's summer adventure comes courtesy of the Minnesota State Zoo.  It was a warm day and yet there was enough shade and breeze to make it bearable.  I went down with friends and family it was fun.  The fun part of the day was seeing the three kids run around with excitement and with awe at the different animals.  They played hard and it was fun to watch them with their childhood eyes learn, look, and see the different things at the zoo.  It will be fun to get the pictures back to see everything. 
   
  My neighbor and her grandson came along with us today and her grandson has been diagnosed with Autism (his name is Will).  From what I know of Autism is that people with that diagnosis have a hard time with quick change and new people.  Since I don't see Will that often, I would consider myself a new person in Will's world and this is a neat picture taken by his Grandma. This is probably the highlight of my day along with walking with Will and holding his hand.  It was a good reminder of knowing when to be open and trusting.  Also, life is not so much of walking ahead or behind others, but it is walking with them and sometimes even giving someone a ride when needed.
