Trunk or Treat fun in the Spooky Season!
I hope you have a fun and safe Holiday. I had a great time this year participating in two local Trunk or Treat events.
The first one we joined was with Fort Collins Best located at the Holiday Twin Drive In Theater in Fort Collins, and boy was it big! We had over 600 kids visit our fishing booth!
Niki and Olivia came and helped manage the crowds! It was cold, but that didn’t stop all the kids from joining!
We met some really great people at the Trunk or Treat, and had constant lines of kids that wanted to try our game!
Nick met a few families dressed in group costumes! He really loved the Little Mermaid themed family that included Ursula!
His former speech therapist, Mallory, stopped by with her kids! They had grown a lot since he’d seen them last!
Nick’s favorite part of this Trunk or Treat was meeting the wolf from the Red Riding Hood story at the very end of the day! Here he is trying to be brave, with Niki by his side helping him to meet the Big Bad Wolf!
Last weekend, Nick joined Pharoah’s Car Club to have another booth at their Trunk or Treat!
Nick’s Aunt Jodie joined the fun, and Nick was very proud to show off his booth to her!
The booth was a lot of work, so this Fisherman had to take a quick break with his pipe!
Nick braved meeting BeetleJuice, but he didn’t stay with him long!
He loved all the creative awesome cars that were at the Trunk or Treat!
Fisherman, Brendan, Nick’s newest job coach, joined us in the sea for the event!
Thank you to all the members of Pharoah’s Car Club for inviting Awesome in Action to this event! Here we are with Beverly, the chapter president! These folks are always so kind and accomodating!
Have a safe and happy Halloween all of you awesome people!
Sliding down the Slope
Have you every had the rush of cold wind brushing past your face, and adrenalin running through your veins as you head down a Rocky Mountain Ski slope? Nick has, and he loves it! It’s a process to get him ready to go, to make sure he will be warm enough, and arrive on time to the beautiful Eldora Resort.
Once at Eldora, we are met by a Crew of Ignite staff and volunteers ready to help Nick into the Ski, they have a new ski, the tetra that Nick can control left and right movements, of course there is someone overseeing his decisions, just incase. Nick is so excited to still be able to ski, it is one of the few passions he has held on to. Nick says “The men are awesome!” and “I like the music.”
We are so grateful to Ignite staff and volunteer’s for all their dedication and hard work, and to make Nick feel so welcome and safe, he always has such a great time!
