September 23 - Reintegration?

Our exciting event for today was a field trip! It was with AJ's occupational therapists and it was not just for fun, but to help AJ "reintegrate into society".  We've gotten a good laugh out of the idea that AJ needs to be reintegrated into society, but I'm sure that's just because AJ has never had an attitude of embarrassment or shame regarding his condition.  He is friendly to everyone and seems confident. He has always had respect for people with disabilities and had great respect for his Grandpa Beecroft who was disabled for many years and in a wheelchair toward the end of his life.  It's such a blessing to have good examples in life, since you never know when you'll draw on their strength!  We ate at a nice restaurant called The Point.  It has a beautiful view of the Salt Lake valley and the food is very good. AJ did great a great job eating his Country Fried Steak and Mashed Potatoes, too! The goal is an outing every week, so if you have any suggestions on a great place to visit in SLC, let us know!
