Special Olympics, Main Street Arts festival

Saturday morning began bright and early for us, we were at the UT Arlington Stadium for volunteering for Special Olympics by 8am.
The morning began slow... We were helping out the atheletes get from the stands to the starting line.

It really was a humbling experience to help out, and realize of how much we truly are blessed.  The people that we helped were some of the nicest people, and they were very competetive... they all were going to be in "first place" but they were so excited to be there, and to run, it really was nice. all of them were just so excited, and so happy.
Our "shift" was from 8am-12pm.
our races ended a little early (11am) and we ate lunch at the group tent - then we had a group picture, and we were headed back to Steves house at noon. :) we went to his house, took a little nap and got

About 4ish we headed back out, went to Fort Worth for the Main Street arts festival. We only spent about an hour or so out there, (lots of people, didnt see a whole lot that interested us) so we went back and made dinner. :)
