Yesterday Ellyn participated in her first ever Special Olympics. She was awesome. She didn't love the jumping so much but she couldn't get enough of the ball throwing. We had to find an empty station and throw some more. My girl rocked it on the 50 yard dash, she was amazing. She ran with Veronica and came in second. She was a speedy little Chiquita and loved the cheering at the end. Such a cool event for so many great children. I can't wait for many more years of participation!
Ellyn and Veronica- just after Ellie threw her tennis ball. I could never get a shot with the ball in the picture.
Ellyn does a little warm up lap, mentally preparing for her big run.
High fives all around for our champion.
Ellyn basks in the glory of her medals. Either that or she's tired and the sun feels really good!
