Shriners

This past Wednesday, I went on another Shriners trip. It was really fun and I learned a new wheel chair game, "murder ball." This is actually just another name for rugby. Before that, I had no idea it was possible for kids in wheel chairs to play rugby. But, these young kids we were playing with were really good. I also found another friend on this trip. She was only 6 years old and she was at the hospital with her grandmother. While I played candy land with her, I found out that they were actually from Louisianna. The grandmother told me all about te special celebrations they do there- like mardi gras. I ended up finding out a lot about people much different from me. They had really southern accents and didn't like the cold much, but I found out that I was still able to continue an enagaging conversation with them.
