We were so excited to hear that the 2018 Special Olympics USA Games were going to be in Seattle! We marked our calendars awhile ago and now the Games are finally here! Athletes from all over the country are here to compete in a variety of sports -- track and field events, gymnastics, basketball, paddle boarding and so much more. If you're in the area, check out the full event schedule and make plans to attend this week (it's free!). Show your support for this incredible organization by taking in an event or two, cheering on the athletes and sharing your photos with #RiseWithUs on social media. If you're not in the Pacific Northwest or can't attend, you can still support the Special Olympics by making a donation online and by talking to your kids about the organization and what it's all about.
Here are a few photos from the Games yesterday. We caught some track and field events and a lot of flag football -- so impressed with the organization of the Games and the athletes. Such a positive vibe!
