On Saturday we attended Arden's first reunion. Now you might be thinking she's only 20 months old what type of reunion would she be invited to? Well, the NICU has a reunion for all of their graduates. Let me tell you they threw a party these kids enjoyed.
The weather on Saturday was perfect. When we arrived Arden was so excited. There were balloons, games, firetrucks, popcorn, police cars and motorcycles, ice cream, dogs and lots of laughter.
We ate lunch and then hit the events. Arden loved petting the therapy dogs they had walking around for the kids to pet. She liked the police motorcycles over the police car. Her favorite was the fire truck. She climbed up on board and really got the fireman's attention. They could not believe how she just wanted to explore and that she was not shy. She sat in the back and wanted to be buckled in to the seat. She tried on their very heavy fire hat. Then after a few minutes when the line got smaller she climbed into the front seat and wanted to drive the big latter truck off the lot. She even let the firemen hold her coming off the truck.
After that we grabbed some popcorn and headed over to the NICU where she saw her nurses and was able to hear other stories of other preemies. We also saw lots of twins and triplets at the reunion.
Here are some picture of the day. We are going to make this an annual event in our house.
