We spent the whole day at the school yesterday, even though it was Saturday. We had three separate events there, one after the other. First, we went to the Parents as Teachers vehicle fair. We have been going every year and the kids love it. Even though Maggie is technically not in the program any more, we still get all the notifications about it. They always have a great petting zoo that the kids spend a lot of time at. This year they even had a baby zebra.
Ben loves to brush them whenever he can and it's a full time job to pull Maggie away from the animals, she absolutely loves them. When you see the interactions that all the kids have with these animals, you can see how animal therapy works so well for troubled children.
Since Rock Hill is such a small city, it was funny that at one point the fire engine had to leave to attend to a medical emergency. They soon came back and everyone was fine, so all worked out well.
The advantage of a small city and events such as this is that you know all of the people that work for the police & fire service. sadly, our one policeman that is certificed to ride a motorcycle is retiring in a few weeks. he had stopped someone outside our house yesterday and the kids got a kick out of the fact that he knew them and waved to them. I love Rock Hill!!!!
