Pool and Pizza Picnic

Water Balloon Game

Girls' Pool

How many of us go for a swim or order pizza and say to ourselves, “Wow!  This is a rare and special treat I will remember the rest of my life!”

The children were recently treated to an unexpected surprise.  Visitors from Florida, Rhich and Pat Nelson, sponsored a pool and pizza picnic!  Not only do these children rarely enjoy a dip in a pool, but pizza is an impossibility.   Their teachers at the public school realized this, and even gave them special permission to leave early (as long as they finished their exams first!).

They arrived at MEDA eager to get wet, and soon found themselves drenched by water balloons and hoses, slithering down slip-n-slides, and splashing in wading pools.  The fun was not over however, as pizza and sodas soon arrived, followed by ice cream and watermelon!

Slip and Slide

Bombs Away!

What a blessing it was for these children to enjoy a special day just for them.  The day home provides for many of their basic physical needs, but sometimes going above and beyond creates memories that will last a lifetime!
