Two and a half hours later I was back to pick up my angel. I found her out on the playground all bundled up. While the other children were having fun climbing all over the jungle gym, Elisabeth was enjoying a nice stroll in her wheelchair:

It was a sweet moment.
All in all it was a successful day. Today she goes again....but this time on the school bus!
