Good morning everyone,
It's a gorgeous day outside, now if the sun would peek out we'd be set!
Ryan had a wonderful time at Teen Group yesterday. Paul Bunyan logging camp is one of his favorite places to be. We visit frequently, sometimes just to have lunch while he sits in the car and admires the statues of Paul and Babe. We've been doing that since he was tiny.
One day, when we were lunching our picnic and viewing the dynamic duo from our car, a mother and child of about nine years old got out of a van. The boy looked and looked while the mother smiled indulgently. Immediately I knew that he was someone with special needs as taken with Paul and Babe as Ryan is, and has been since he was younger than the boy at the park. It was pretty obvious they'd been there before.
I wanted to get out of the car and talk to the mother but I can be shy. What was I going to say? "Hi, I see your kid is as obsessed with these two as mine?" That'd go over well. Plus the kid would probably bolt and then she'd have a larger problem.So I stayed sat and marveled that someone else was on the same byzantine path that I was. I smiled that some other mother took the time to visit Paul repeatedly. (like we have a choice, right?)
At any rate, Ry purchased a small silver bell with Paul and Babe at the top, one of those souvenir bells, had ice cream at the attached museum and in general had fun. Unfortunately, there weren't a ton of kids. Do think about registering your young adult.
Have a great day! Much love and joy,
Karen
