Lucas Camilo

Lucas had a couple big adventures over the past week that deserve recounting on the blog.  However, we’ve been busy and so rather than trying to write something descriptive we’ll just let pictures and video do the talking.

First, it was Lowell School Mariners game night on Sunday and we braved the crowds, parking lots and elevators to get Lucas and his wheelchair up to the 300 level of Safeco Field.  Did we mention it was bat night?

Lucas developed a love of baseball following a big M’s victory (despite only making it 5 1/2 innings) and now we’ve got a new living room activity that takes advantage of the recently acquired Louisville Slugger:

Next up on the big adventure list was Lucas’s first May Day march – not his first march, mind you… that harrowing adventure was recounted on this blog 2 years ago.  But May Day is a whole different story, especially when the cops are out in full force brandishing tear gas and pepper spray.  Luckily they waited for the black bloc march a few hours later to pull that racket out.   On a beautiful afternoon in Seattle we had fun  joining the immigrant rights march with friends from CISPES and the Social Justice Fund NW and chanting “Si Se Puede!”

Lucas got tired after waiting around for a while at the start and then rolling 10 blocks… but as soon as we returned home Lucas kept the chants alive on the back porch:
