Last Friday was Family Fun Day at Jackson's school. Daddy took the morning off to attend, we were so happy he could be there! They gave the students blue school shirts so they all matched. Jackson was happy to see his friend Karuna there. She attends the same class but she goes in the afternoon while Jackson goes in the morning.
The day started out with a parade. The teachers had decorated all the wheelchairs the day before...they looked very patriotic and festive! The parade was led by a marching band and ROTC from a nearby HS. All the people who lived near the school came out to watch and wave as we went by.
Then it was time for the relay races! Since Jackson was the first racer, he had to hurry up and get his gear on and get in the go-bot while the cheerleaders were doing their thing. He drove the go-bot all by himself with a switch! (The guy behind him is steering, not pushing.) He did great!
Then it was Karuna's turn, the second racer in the relay. She also did a wonderful job driving her go-bot!
Jackson won a medal for going so fast in the race! He looks so proud!
There was lots of other fun stuff to do. He got a green frog painted on his hand, and he got to hang out for a little while with some fire fighters.
Unfortunately the day was really hot and sunny so we had to go a little bit early...but it was a fun day for everyone!
