fresh air camp


For the last several years Mom Sikora has been volunteering at this camp for kids that are ventilator dependent. The camp hosts a myriad of wonderful events that otherwise these children would not be able to experience. The kids and I were blessed yesterday to visit the camp (and get their Gramma/Bapa fill) and experience firsthand how great this camp is. I was touched to see the kid's Uncle Tim working with his partner. This boy had a partial stroke and Tim was talking, massaging and making sure his partner was always comfortable. Uncle Eddie seemed in high sprirts as well working with his partner (although we could see how he lit up when Isa and Will walked in!). I am so glad that the kids went, and although they are still very young, I hope they follow in both our families footsteps of volunteering those that are less fortunate than us.

This is as close as they got to the Disney Characters!




Watching the animal show and getting to pet some them!

A TON of firefighters and engines showed up for an amazing display. Will got to "put out" a mock burning building and Isa sat in the driver's seat of an engine! It was way too cool!!!
