The Otte's

Well, we had a very nice 4th of July and the crazy part is that I totally forgot to take pictures.  We loaded up into our new (used) van.  It is wonderful, works great with Quinn's wheelchair, and will be wonderful for her new wheelchair that should be here sometime this summer (fingers crossed).  We got it from Rent A Van, and I would tell anyone to go there, Doug helped us and was a great guy.   The pictures show how it works and the up close picture shows how we tighten her chair into the van so she is nice and safe.

We slept in on the 4th, called Grandpa Ron to wish him a happy birthday, and played in our jammies for a bit, as it was to hot to go to Seward to do the 4th of July stuff, so we met up with Patrick in Omaha and went to lunch, did some shopping, and just played around.  It was a great low stress day, and to top it off, one of our neighbors did a huge fireworks show, and we could just hang out on our driveway and watch that.  Suzanne was good at getting Quinn to play with a rocket at therapy.  After practicing walking in her walker.  She got to stomp on an air bag that would blow the rocket in the air.  That is my idea of a great rocket, quiet and calm, yet Quinn loved to see it go, because of her work to stomp on it.  What fun!  If you look at the second picture you can see her stomping on the rocket.
