Our first day at CAPES was awesome! We got to meet most of our kids, although one was unable to be there. Two of the students in our group have Downs Syndrome. They are so great! They listen well to instructions and are extremely friendly. The hardest part for me was when we initially got in the water. One of the kids was so excited and it was difficult to keep him from diving under the water. But when he was able to focus he followed directions really well. The best part was watching how proud the kids were of the accomplishments that they made. I'm looking forward to getting to know them better. I love our group!
