Brad took the day off today, and with the Malarsies here for a couple more days, we thought it would be the best to spend the day down in Santa Rosa at the WIBIT and Blue Hole. Going on a weekday was a huge win - everyone got tons of time on the WIBIT and it wasn't overcrowded.
Grandma and grandpa came too and we had fun visiting and watching everyone play.
Michael even spent some time out on the WIBIT with Brad. He is so brave and said he had a blast but everything was super slippery!
I have really loved the friendships that have deepened between these cousins!
The blue hole was freezing, as usual, but most everyone jumped in and felt very refreshed. Michael even made his way up to the high jump and used his cane to feel his way to the edge. All the people there got really quiet as they realized what was happening and we all watched him as he slowly edged his way out, and felt around with his cane for a bit to try to figure out his surroundings. Brad jumped first and then was talking to him from the water so Michael could sort of gauge how far the fall was, and which direction to jump based on hearing Brad's voice. Then he bravely just took the leap of faith, and then everyone there clapped and cheered for him. It was pretty cool.
Such a great day. It was a birthday to remember for me!
