"Barney's Dream"
Barney is a disabled man who lives in lake wales and has been in a wheel chair his whole life. He is SOOOOO involved in the community if you just say "Barney" nearly everyone knows who you are talking about. Well a new playground was just built that was a dream of Barney's. It was designed so that children with disabilities could enjoy a playground like any other "normal" child. It has ramps for wheelchairs. Larger swings with harnesses etc. It really is a fun, BEAUTIFUL playground for ALL children and we took Hunter opening weekend to play with his cousins (who have reportedly gone nearly every day!) :) So glad the community worked together to live out "Barney's Dream"!

I love Barney! That is so awesome, please tell him Stephanie "Muhlenforth" says hello and congratulations. I'm so glad his dream has become a reality. Teaching students with special needs really opens your eyes to what they sometimes miss out on.
