Fort Hill Farm Photos

Some farm photos from a 4th of July visit to Fort Hill Farm:

My favorite video of the year came in from Karen back on June 9th:
“Here’s Brianna with her new walker that she just got today. She has had limited use with one in PT, but she is already doing pretty good.”

Kayla enters the Work Force

Last week Kayla interviewed and tested for a job in the Aquatics department at the YMCA and also for a life guard position with Newton Park and Rec. She got offers for both!

She is going to take the YMCA job and teach a small swim class, life guard, and help coach the Blue Waves (her original swim team). Her hard work getting getting certified in CPR/first Aid and Life guarding during her time at camp last year paid off. She also got three very good references which the Y checked the day after she applied. Go Kayla!

Kayla and Dad visit UCONN

Kayla and Dad went to UCONN to catch the tail end of the Women’s team competing in the UConn Select Invite and the beginning of the men’s team meet against Albany (“The Dog Fight“). Kayla got to chat with Greg Roy, the UCONN men’s coach. He knew Newton North as a top program and also knows her pole vault coach Brenner Abbott, who coaches at Northeastern.

We got to sample some UConn dairy bar ice cream and pick up some UConn gear for her and Jared at the coop. We also visited Gampel, the pool, the chemical engineering department, and the Husky Heritage Sports Museum where we found a plaque with both Dad and Rebecca Lobo on it — I figured Gampy would appreciate that.

Hurray — Dad gets ink and a photo on sports.priorfamily.org!
