Weeding and Riding

Another busy day in the Land of Noa. We noticed today that there were a number of other special needs kids at the Waterpark, and a whole group of special needs adults staying at the resort - guess it is true what they say: Water Good.

I got a water proof camera today but in charming old timely Catskill fashion, it takes photos on FILM of all things! So we'll have to wait and see what, if anything come out. We had a great water park morning - and the afternoon went okay... until she got overly cold and couldn't warm up and hadn't had her snack and well, it was totally tragic meltdown time, which was too bad because until then it had been really really great. The water was freezing though and Noa just keeps going until she can't anymore - she just loves it that much. And, because she doesn't walk, she doesn't move her feet much and so they get icey cold and it can be hard to warm them up.

So until I get more waterpark photos... here are some photos of Noa, including one of her weeding the front entry way to the resort: picking the top off a tall piece of grass and then handing it to Daddy. She loves handing things to us (usually invisible things, or when she has a bug bite, she'll try to hand the itchy part to us). Noa is hanging out here waiting for a Hay Ride which was the event of the night here at the resort. Noa went on the Hay Ride with Daddy and I followed in the car so I could bring them back. The ride didn't start until after 7pm (which is late for Noa) and we didn't think she'd have patience for the part where the Farmer takes everyone into the field to feed the cows and then talks to them about cows and farming and does some demos. It was kind of hard to explain to them that at this point in the day she really wouldn't even want to touch a cow's nose. That kind of new thing is just too overwhelming when she is tired - it's far better to do the ride and leave it at that --- and she LOVED the ride!
