AMAZING WEEKEND!!

WOW!! That's about the best way I know to express the events of the past few days. Every time we are privileged to be able to spend time with other kids and adults like Hannah, we are just blown away. We were able to make the trip to Edmond to participate in the 10th annual Endeavor Games hosted by the University of Central Oklahoma.

There were over 300 athletes representing 30 states and various continents. Participants ranged from age 4 to in their 60's, and had varying challenges - including but not limited to - amputations, blindness, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, and most touching, our wounded soldiers. Events ranged from track and field, to archery, volleyball, swimming and others.

This was an awesome opportunity to catch-up with old friends and make new ones. Hannah participated in several clinics and one event. The clinics offered her a glimpse into what she CAN do. She got to try out a hand cycle, which was way too big, but she can't wait until she gets one her size. I also think we may just have an upcoming sitting volleyball star on our hands. She also brought home the SILVER MEDAL for the 60 meters in her classification. Several classifications run at the same time, and she was a little disappointed that she didn't win her heat, but when she found out that she had won silver, she got excited. Now she has her sights on the gold in the 100 next year. She has assured us though that she doesn't want to do the 400 because "that is way too long".

Considering Hannah's condition of being born without both tibia is a 1 in 3,000,000 occurrence, there just happened to be five there (ranging in age from five to ten) this weekend, of which Hannah was the youngest. She was really excited to have a female friend to help her with the boys.

I'm going to close with a few pics of this weekend. We did have a blast!!
