We've been looking forward to the Special Olympics Summer Games since last summer. This event is such a highlight in our year, and this year was even better than last year with special guests, Lydia participating as a Unified Partner, and perfect weather!
My parents, brother and sister-in-law, and three of their kids came to cheer on Brett and Lydia. Brett tried out the long jump this year and placed 1st in his division.
Next was the 4x100 Unified Relay. Brett and another athlete on our team ran with Lydia and the coach. They placed 3rd in their division. At the Opening Ceremony, we were excited to represent our team and see Joe Mauer!
The next day, Brett competed in the 100M Run and 50M Dash and placed 4th and 1st respectively. Between events, we enjoyed watching basketball and swimming, climbing the rock wall, doing an escape room, and many other activities. What a special weekend!
