On July 4, four Buddy Up families gathered at 4:00 PM at the kayak launch at Ellicott Creek Park for an afternoon of paddle boating and outdoor fun. The event provided families with an opportunity to connect, enjoy nature, and spend quality time together.

We also celebrated the birthday of one of our special needs children, making the day even more meaningful with a small birthday celebration. In the evening, families stayed to enjoy the Independence Day fireworks, ending the day with a festive community celebration.
