On Saturday, March 21, we got to help out the Salt Lake Down Syndrome community with one of their events. Some graduate students at the University of Utah helped them coordinate an event in which the children were entertained and watched while the parents were able to do some networking and give each other some mutual support. The kids were hilarious! We had a great time. We played with a parachute and balls (remember the good times in elementary school?) and one of the little guys insisted on crawling out onto the parachute while we were raising and lowering it. He was quite persistent. We also learned some sign language, and got a visit from some animals at the Hogle Zoo. The desert tortoise was by far my favorite.
