It was great she had a wonderful time and got to meet some really great kids that go to Piedmont high and seriously they were awesome with the kids that came out to enjoy the VSA. For anyone that doesn't know what the VSA is here is a little description. Piedmont raises money every year to help out special needs kids in Union County they hold an Art festival with some of the money they raise and award prizes to the kids that win the art contests they also gave 5 teachers a surprise package for their classrooms this year. This year there were all kind of art booths set up where the kids could make things like macaroni necklaces, they colored muffins and made little pillows out of them they had their pics taken and the kids from Piedmont put on an awesome play where they acted out the book if you give a mouse a cookie (and they were wonderful) I think I had just as much fun as Shelby did. Seriously every year the VSAF gets better and better and I am glad that Shelby and I can participate. Here is a link to the pics I took there are just way too many for me to post here. The pics are a bit dark because my camera sucks when I'm inside and far off from the subject but hopefully you will be able to see some of the wonderful costumes and background. A little FYI the background was painted by the art class at Piedmont middle and it was awesome.

We had a pretty good time but I have to say we had a better time at the VSA. They just wern't very organised at all and the kids had to wait forever for their turn and they didn't stop the events for the kids to eat lunch anyway I was a bit dissapointed. I did get some great shots of Shelby and some of her friends playing the games.
