Aren't you curious?

We've been talking about The Transition Center for awhile now, and we are almost ready for the grand opening June 4, 2012! Since so much has changed since the first picture we leaked, we wanted to give an update on the progress.

Before:

After some hard work:

It has been a labor of love, and it will be oh so worth it when our students arrive to the upgraded Transition Center that features:

• Fully-equipped kitchen with granite countertops
• Laundry room
• Learning lab
• Office
• Media Center
• THE best place to hang out with friends!

That's just inside the house! The multi-purpose building out back will be used for projects and business enterprise. 

And the green space will be used for a garden where we will grow our own veggies to use for cooking.

The Transition Center is the perfect place to learn daily living skills needed to function independently. Stay tuned to see how The Transition Center is transitioning into what could be your home away from home. Are you getting excited?? We sure are!

Fun Day Appreciation BBQ

A big thank you to everyone who made it out to The Summerhouse Fun Day Appreciation Barbeque! We had an excellent time celebrating with all the people who make the Fun Days such a success.

You couldn't make it through the front door before painting a little. ARTreach helped us make a gorgeous collaborative painting for the Transition Center.

Everyone at the party contributed to the painting, and here's the finished product...

Isn't it awesome? A huge thanks to our ARTreach volunteers!!

The party continued out back. It was an absolutely perfect day for a dip! 

Summer splashin' around...

 Taylor pretty in pink...

Austin soakin' up the sun...

We all worked up quite an appetite after swimming, and we couldn't wait to dig in to the delicious barbeque! Look at all of that food!

It was a wonderful day with friends, family, and Summerhouse supporters, and we are looking forward to our upcoming journey...The Transition Center!
