Little Miss Mae's Special Olympics Event 2012

It was a fun day for all.....
especially for Little Miss Mae! 
(Thanks for letting me borrow this cool photo Auntie Kara:)
 
The event started with a parade by the participants, 
and an Opening Ceremony including the running of the torch by the SWAT Team...
they started early and ran the torch and passed it off all the way from the Monument.
 
(Classroom viewing tip...the following video clip is a bit long, the others are shorter...)

 Quick video clip of the torch lighting.....
 A speech was given by Superintendent Steve Shultz.
 Video Clip of the Releasing of the Doves....so neat to see!

 ROAR!!!!
Little Miss Mae was so excited to see her family in the stands...
Quick video clip of that:
 We were fortunate to have Auntie Kara's help for the event, 
and to show extra support for Little Miss Mae as well----
so nice to have another family member
to cheer her on!
 Yes, yes, Auntie Kara had her hands full!!!!
 I don't think she minded though.....
Time for the RACE!
 Little Miss Mae ditching her walker!
 On your marks....
 Get ready, 
get set....
 GO!!!!!
I almost missed videoing the race,
as they switched directions the participants were running
at the last minute, 
and Little Miss Mae was so fast!
 Here's a quick video I captured at the end of the race though:
Proud winner!

 Catching "butterflies."
 Loving the obstacle course....
Here's a quick video clip of Little Miss Mae doing the course 
and walking all around the field!
 Ms. Connie is such a good sport, and I bet she slept well after the event!
 
Rolling, rolling....
