Arc Corn Roast and Down to Earth Picnic

Last week we were busy with many end of summer picnics. The Arc Fox Cities corn roast was a fun event with many kid's activities and of course we got to spend time with some DSFN families. Then, over the weekend, we saw our friends again. The Down to Earth Picnic is a wonderful DS support group about 45 minutes from us. I have been able to make a few monthly meetings over the last year, but the distance makes it hard to attend often. This group has so many wonderful families and many kids close to Logan's age. We are so lucky to have two wonderful support groups close by. Here are a few pics from the Down to Earth Picnic.



The park had a great splash pad with water fountains. Devin loved it and wouldn't even stop playing for a picture.

Of course, Logan's buddy Aaron was there.

DOWN to Earth

Last night I attended my first DOWN to Earth meeting in Oshkosh. It is a Down syndrome support group for the Fox Cities. (different than the one that I am a part of in Appleton, which is the DS Family Network through the Arc of the Fox Cities) I was surprised to see so many families with new babies joining the group for the first time just like us. It was great to talk with them and hear about their experiences and their new little bundles, but their stories made me feel so thankful that Logan was born without any major medical issues. The families are doing so well considering everything they are going through and will go through in the near future.
