Every summer, the NJ CBVI puts on a Summer Rec Program for children registered with the Comission for the Blind. Since the Pope was battling retinoblastoma and having eye surgeries last summer, we didn't participate in the program. This summer, he was too young for most of the events which included baseball games, a luau, accessible theater performances, camping, etc. He was invited to go to Black Bear Lake on Saturday. And what a day we had! We also met other families with children who are blind or visually impaired. It was a fun day and we certainly are looking forward to going back next summer!

| Cowabunga! Pope LOVES to jump into the pool! |

| High flying fun! Another great jump! |

| Build a pet (kind of a knockoff of Build a Bear*) came to the event... can you guess what Pope stuffed? |

| Posing for a photo in front of Black Bear Lake. (Aww... come on Mom... do I have to?) |

| Pope met H and A and the 3 boys had a great time together. |

| Pope LOVES to climb... he was too little for the big rock wall, but the one at the playground was a good substitute! |
