Today our 5th grade boy's got to visit Children's Hospital and learn all about Child Life Specialists, Medical Therapy dogs (Galaxy!), Sports Medicine and the Laboratory Specialists. We got to make lava lamps, candy spinal cords to see how cartilage works, and learn other fun skills. Such a great experience for all!
