“Today was one of my favorite days of the trip! In the morning, we got to go to a church and we walked around downtown Toledo. We saw lots of art and learned about the history of Toledo! In the afternoon we got to go to an animal nursery and saw lots of wild animals who are hurt and getting better! We saw an opossum, a bunny, some snakes and a lot more! We had pasta for dinner then we went to see the Toy Story movie!! I had so much fun today!!”

“Hi, this is Libby. Today was a fab-tastic day!! We started off the day splitting into two groups, my least favorite activity cause I hate to watch my pals walk away! I personally went to St. Paul’s with my twin, Luke, important fact. There we met a wonderful lady, Kate. She was just great, honestly. She walked us around the city and showed us so much beautiful art which I love! After seeing the art we went back to the church and we moved a lot of stuff from the fourth floor to the Maker’s Space on the first floor, including a heavy pew that I moved with Luke (he tried to attack me with it!! But I survived.) We met back up with the pals for lunch (yay!) and went on a nature walk with Connor then went to our second activity at Nature’s Nursery. I pulled weeds while my twin & pals planted trees while playing Let It Grow. We finished off the night puzzling LOTS (we finished a lot, check out the picture), eating pasta, and sleeping through Toy Story 5 (in theaters)… we returned to the puzzle table and it was great until we ended the day in STENCH!!! And Connor cried. Love you all, Libby.”
