The kids jumped on a trailer for a real hayride, and then were able to get up close and personal to a live falcon. The falcon was a huge hit with everyone. Getting to hop in a fire truck and explore all of the neat features in the cab was a fun, unique experience. Each youngster received a special sticker from the fireman, which quickly became a badge to wear proudly.
From fire truck to police car they went, and got a special surprise. Those willing were handcuffed and put in the back seat, with lights ablaze! After all this excitement, it was time to meet the horses. The kids couldn't get enough of getting to ride with the posse.
The day's festivities concluded with a fun lunch with hot dogs, hamburgers, and a beautiful cake. All of our lives were touched by the interactions of all the special people who came together in joy for a day. The children didn't want this fun to end.
This day was ever so special. We look forward to having everyone back again next year!
