Special Olympics- Raleigh

 Emma has been doing gymnastics for about a year now and was asked to join the Buncombe County Special Olympics team for the state games in Raleigh.  



It was a big deal!  We had no idea how busy it would be


It was a bit overwhelming for her

Lighting the torch


When we got to our Airbnb, they had made a cute basket for Emma.  It was full of treats, snacks and a sweet note.  She said she felt famous!



It was a great house


The event begins.





The boys left a lakehouse party to be there.  We are still hearing about that.....

After the games, they had a party, dance and food




She had a blast and was very proud of herself.  I think this was the first and last Olympics for Emma.  Although she had fun, she said it was too overwhelming and stressful.  I'm glad she gave it a shot.
