An Evening at Leaps and Bounds

Instead of our regular meeting this past week, we met at Leaps and Bounds in St. Peters for a little bit of a playtime with some sensory experiences thrown in.  We had a great turnout and it seemed that everyone had a good time!

Here’s a few pictures from the evening.
