Our Blog - A fresh Take

This is a blog about the art of helping the children in our lives realize their potential and use their gifts, especially those children who may not move as well, the “crasher banger” kids, the shy types, and those picked last for ball games. It’s about seeing beyond the surface to discover who our children are and helping them shine. We’ll discuss how children grow and learn, how they move and use their senses, and why they do things like spin in circles until they fall down. Mostly it’s about all of us taking a step back and seeing each other for who we really are. That’s a tall order. We’re complex creatures. Let’s begin.

All Aboard!

Quite by accident my husband and I discovered a wonderful little park in Jamestown, up in Gold Country. It's definitely a weekend and not a day trip, but well worth it, especially if you know someone who likes trains. And who doesn't?

It's called Railroad 1897 Park, and there are several trains that are around 100 years old. Some are fully restored and were in movies, some are being restored, all are amazing machines that must be seen to be believed.

Here is a link to their website: http://www.railtown1897.org/railtown/default.asp

There are tours (free) and a train ride (not so free), and it's a lot of fun!
