On Tuesday, August 19, the Children's World Day Care Summer Program visited at Vista Village. The kids and seniors played games, visited, told each other stories and had a snack together.  One of the games was unusual - Walker from the daycare acted as a moving target by carrying a large padded velcro target that thrown tennis balls stuck to.

Vista Village Recreational Therapist Assistant Jennifer Crook said that the residents love it when the kids come. "They are so vital and active."

Daycare Program Supervisor Lorali Kettles had 10 children from the ages of 6 - 10 with her. This is the second time the daycare program has visited the Vista this summer. Kettles sees a real benefit from having the kids visit. "They get a lot out of it. They learn a lot and they have a lot of fun."
