special olympics

valley went to Fullerton to help out at the special Olympics, today. it was fun, but i wish we could have had more time. everyone who was driving had to be there at 8:15 at the latest, but bc i had to take Jim to school at 8:15 there was no way i could do that, so i and a group of friends took the bus. the bus didn't leave until 8:30ish- so we didn't arrive until about 9? then we waited in this gigantically long line to get our athlete. a quarter way through the line, a lady comes over and asks us to entertain three little boys in wheelchairs. we couldn't take them anywhere, and I'm not sure they could say much. one little boy could say hi. then we wandered around, but we really wanted a kid, so we got back in line (we kind of cut in line :C but we really wanted a kid, and we were leaving in an hour.) so we finally meet a boy named Jose, who was twelve years old. we went and played basketball, and baseball (his two favorite sports), but then we had to go to take the bus home! so all in all, we only spent about 45 minutes with him. but we stood in line and cheered as they walked past, and it was great to see their faces light up, with a huge smile.
