Wild and Windy Ride

3 photos in a row of Michael enjoying the wind whipping into the car as we drive, two stickers (orange circles) with tigger and pooh bear battling against the fall wind

We meet our sensory needs in a variety of mundane ways every day, but sometimes we just need to step it up a notch or two.

journal entry: "We rolled down our windows and had a wild and windy ride!" photos of Mikey enjoying the wind from his backseat in the car.

Cautions:

Wild and windy rides are not recommended for kiddos who might try to exit the vehicle.  

Also, be careful of driving too close to any branches that stick out into the road.

As always, watch out for cyclists – those nutzos are everywhere! LOL!
