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 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.
