photos from Camp Imua 2011

Here are belated photos from camp imua.
Jewel agreed to pet the mini horse's Ginger and Feather.  She felt like she would be cheating on Cookie Dough if she rode on another horse.  She enjoyed petting their noses, it is very sensory stimulation for their noses are super soft and cushiony with tickling whiskers <3  Thank you to the Piiholo stables fro bringing their horses to camp for five days, you guys are awesome xx


This is Jewel and Ava, Jewel called Ava her best friend, she met Ava at camp three years ago. :)  We all love and adore Ava.  She is very inspiring and an amazing spirit.

Smores after the camp bon fire and songs.

These lovely people took 200 people out on the water all day long on our beach day at camp.  Here is Makena and Jewel going out on Jewel's first kayak ride, yippee !

Jewel eating lunch while sporting a plumeria lei that one of the great camp caregiver's Dillon gave to her.  Thank you Dillon :)  Thank for the awesome photos Makena! xxo Mom
