The Dahlia Festival never disappoints 🌸 the flowers are always absolutely stunning 🌼

We tried out a new craft today: sq**rt gun painting! 🎨💦 Our crew had so much fun getting creative and making some colorful masterpieces!

And don’t worry, no trees were harmed in the making of this art! 🌳😂 We used washable paint.

We love finding new, creative ways to have fun together! 💚

Soaking up the last days of summer with sunshine, ocean views, and a fun-filled day at the beach! 🌊☀️💙

After a fun stop at Blue Heron, we headed to Rockaway Beach for a peaceful nature walk along the trail today. Fresh air & beautiful scenery.

Today was an absolute blast! 🐦‍⬛✨ The weather couldn’t have been more perfect for our adventure through downtown Portland searching for the Wildwood Crow statues!

This scavenger hunt was such a fun way to get active, explore the city, and do a little sightseeing along the way. Our group had so much fun tracking down some of the crows and seeing where the hunt took us! 🗺️👟

We love finding creative ways to make community inclusion active, engaging, and FUN! 💚

🎓✨ We are SO proud of our amazing DSP, Ryley!

Ryley graduated in May with her degree in Special Education, and this week she begins an exciting new chapter as an Elementary Special Education Teacher! 🍎📚 We know she is going to be absolutely incredible in this role and make such a positive impact on her students.

One of the most special parts of this new chapter is that Ryley’s client recently got to visit her new classroom and soon, she’ll have the opportunity to volunteer there and lead craft projects with the students! 🎨✂️ Volunteering and helping with kids has been a dream of hers, and we love seeing Ryley help turn that dream into a meaningful community role.

Ryley has been part of NW Friends Inclusion for the past 3 years, and we are so grateful that even while teaching full time, she’ll continue working with NWFI part time!

Congratulations, Ryley! We are so proud of everything you’ve accomplished and can’t wait to see you thrive in your new classroom! 🎉🍎❤️

🎡🎠 Fun at the Washington County Fair last week! 🌟

Today was AMAZING! 🚒❤️

We had the opportunity to spend the morning with Forest Grove Fire & Rescue, and it was such an incredible experience! Our clients learned about fire prevention, toured the fire trucks, explored the equipment firefighters use every day, and even got the chance to spray the fire hose! 💦🔥

A huge thank you to Forest Grove Fire & Rescue for taking the time to teach, encourage, and make everyone feel so welcome.
It was an unforgettable morning! 🚒🧑‍🚒❤️

Bullwinkle’s is always a blast! 🎉 There is always so much to do there, this time it was filled with laser tag, bumper boats (complete with sq**rt guns 💦—the perfect way to cool off on a hot day!), and go-karts 🏎️

🎬🌺 Movie Day: Moana! 🌊✨
Nothing beats a day filled with friends, popcorn, and a Disney movie! 💚🏝️
