Special Olympics 2013

June 13, 2013.

We had the opportunity to go to the Opening Ceremonies of the Special Olympics 2013.  It was at Herriman High School.  Tyler's work is a sponsor of the games.  We got tickets to the VIP dinner. It was very cool.

Here is Tyler and the boys on the track.  We were waiting for the Hihg-5 line to welcome the athletes.

Tyler and Hunter sporting the shades.

As part of the opening ceremony a whole bunch of police officers on motorcycles drove out on the track and onto the field.  The boys thought this was pretty cool.

 Here the motorcycle police are at center field.

As part of being VIP guests, we were able to stand in the High-5-Line.  This is where people line up on the track and give all of the athletes high-5's as they enter the stadium.  It was pretty neat seeing how many athletes there were and being able to wish them luck.

Tyler and Fisher waiting for more athletes.

We stood by Cosmo during the High-5-Line. Justin was so excited he couldn't take his eyes off Cosmo.  Fisher wanted nothing to do with him.

Me and Hunter in the stands watching the athletes preform as part of the ceremonies.  It was so dang windy it was hard to hear the announcer.  

Fisher was loving the stadium seats and thought it was cool to sit at the very top.

The color-gaurd was all special needs athletes.  It was very cool to watch this performance.

We had a good experience participating at this year's Special Olympics Opening Ceremonies.  Thank you to Tyler's work for sponsoring such a great cause.
