AND MORE
A very special amusement park is opening in San Antonio in 14 days. It's Morgan's Wonderland. There have already been some preview days and my brother, Sam, who has three sons (one with autism) has already visited it--during some special pre-opening days. The price for his autistic son--$0 and for everyone else $5 each. Sam said the best part was--no long lines. The park has a special easy access carousel and sensory area. You can't just show up. You have to register in advance. It was inspired by a man who has a special needs daughter when he realized that she wanted to interact with others and join in their fun, but sometimes just couldn't. The daughter's name is Morgan. To learn more, go to this link:
