My brother’s graduation
My brother is a high school graduate and I couldn’t be prouder…oh, wait, that is what my mom would say. I truly am proud of my younger brother for graduating. My younger brother is awesome and I am proud to call him my friend. Through nerf sword fights and surgeries, he has always been there. He is awesome without having to try.
Summer things to do when you use a wheelchair
Summertime heat is pretty hard on me. My type of CP means I have lots of uncontrolled movement which means my life is kind of like a non-stop workout. So, I like doing cool stuff in the summer.
Some of my favorite things to do include:
- Go to a baseball game. If you’re in Minnesota, both the Twins and Saints games are fun. Get shady seats.
- Go to a futbol game. Again, in Minnesota, we now have a new Allianz soccer stadium. Again, get seats in the shade.
- Find hiking trails. I put this one in for my mom because she’s the one who likes to drag me out on hikes. Fresh air, sunshine, blah, blah, blah… There are a lot of nice paved trails in our state and local parks. I usually have to go somewhere to hike, because we don’t live in a walkable community – no sidewalks and narrow roads aren’t great for wheelchair users.
- Movies if it’s in the 90s and/or humid. What movies are you looking forward to this summer? Up next for me is the last in the X-Men saga: Dark Phoenix.
