yesterday I drove Nicolas to Rosholt, Wi to attend Wisconsin Lions Camp for the 4th summer in a row. I am always grateful for these camps and the opportunity they give Nic to be "just like everyone else". While we were driving I mentioned to Sophie that she could work at camps like this when she is in high school and college for summer jobs. She is so kind with Nicolas and his Special Olympic teammates, I think she would enjoy the work.
When we arrived at camp we took our annual traditional picture perched on the bronze lion at the entrance to camp - complete with Nic's cast. After meeting his counselor and getting him checked in Nic happily said, "see you Friday, Mom!" No tears this year - he was super excited to be at camp. We even found a cast cover so Nic can swim and get wet -
Speaking of cast, Nic's break was actually worse last week. Luckily he has a high pain tolerance and hopefully it will heal up before basketball and track next year.
