The Joy of New Bikes

Leah and Amy’s grandmother asked Cobbled Streets to help with new bikes for her granddaughters.  It had been a very difficult week. She wanted them to have bikes and perhaps bring a little joy into their lives. They were each able to choose a new bike and helmet. Leah even got to get a doll carrier for the back of her bike!  Because the bikes were purchased online, they arrived unassembled. Sophie, our Program Coordinator, assembled the bikes and delivered them with a meal from their favorite restaurant.  Their grandmother was right…it did bring a little joy into their lives.

_{DINOSAUR RIDGE}



Luis is 9-years-old and often struggles because of his autism. He is especially gifted in understanding the world of dinosaurs. With the support of Cobbled Streets, Luis’ grandmother took him and his sister to Dinosaur Ridge in Morrison. This is a large outdoor park at the foot of the Rockies designed to showcase real dinosaur fossils found on the side of the mountains.

She described the experience by saying “Luis took over the tour and was sharing dinosaur facts with the tour guide!” The tour guide, quickly aware of Luis’ interest and knowledge, shared a fossil replica and asked Luis where it fit. Luis, thinking for a few minutes, suggested it must be a platelet from the stegosaurus, which belongs on the animal's back. To the astonishment of the guide, he was correct! Luis said, “easy peasy…ask me a hard question!” 

The tour guide told Luis’ grandmother that he has real potential to become a paleontologist if he continues this path. She knew Luis loved dinosaurs but came to realize how much he knew about them. She believes “the day at Dinosaur Ridge will change everything for him.”
