Walking the tight rope

ALL of the kids did it!!

Last but not least, a wagon ride

Somebody was worn out

Emma and her class took a field trip to the Wings of Eagles Ranch in Kannapolis. It is a place where kids with Special Needs do therapeutic horseback riding and other activities. The class was divided into teams, so these pictures are only of Emma and her team, not the rest of the class. Emma's team started off climbing the rock wall, then the rode the horses. While on the horse, the volunteers took each horse around and then the had a capture the flag race. It was probably the slowest race on record, but it was so cute to watch. After lunch, we went on a nature walk, then finished out the day with a wagon ride. We went all over the property, and the kids thought that it was amazing!
It was so wonderful to watch each child attempt and accomplish tasks that most people would say isn't possible. It was also neat to see the child's family member see the child accomplish each task! What a great day!!
