The kids and I went to Naperville to see Peggy, Tami, Kari, Craig, Carter, Noah and Rylee before we leave for San Diego. It was another fun weekend with them, but not as fun as usual at the end.
We spent Saturday afternoon at The Naperville Convention Center watching Craig perform with his band at a Disabilities Resource Fair being held there. Kari and Craig own a music therapy business called Creative Exchange Music Therapy Clinic and Craig is in the band called The Naturals. The band has 4 members and 2 of them have autism. It was really great to see them perform and amazing and inspiring to see how these 2 people deal with and overcome the challenges associated with autism. The band even had a couple of the younger kids from the Clinic that have autism get up and sing with them. It was a fun afternoon and I was really glad that I got to see Craig "in action"! :)
The Naturals - Maurice Snell, Craig Christiansen, Dan Massey and Terry Bracey.
Peggy and Rylee were dancing to the music!
Tami, Rylee, Noah, Cameron and Rena wanted to perform when the band was taking a break!
Tami and Maleah were enjoying the show!
It was a long afternoon for the kids so during the show they took a little break, went outside and ran some races!
Noah, Rena, Carter, Cameron and Maleah outside resting after their running!After the show we all headed over to Tami's condo for some pizza and some more fun.....

It was a long, fun day and didn't take long for the kids to crash in Peggy's bed! (Cameron got moved so that Peggy would have somewhere to sleep also!)Luckily, when we got ready to leave on Sunday Peggy decided that she wasn't quite ready to say a final good-bye yet so she is going to come visit us next weekend here in Peoria. I was very happy to get to postpone one hard good-bye!

It looks like you had a fun weekend. Sorry you are having to start your good buys already. I am glad that Peggy is coming to visit you once more though. That will be fun.
