Lakewood Ranch girls assist in drill

+ Lakewood Ranch girls assist in drill
Cousins Rebekah and Sarah Meyers, of Lakewood Ranch, joined others as mock victims during an emergency disaster drill at the Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport April 20.

The girls thoroughly enjoyed playing the parts of the “walking wounded” and even riding on stretchers.
But it also seemed Rebekah was a bit too into her part. Toward the end of the drill, she became overheated and required real medical attention to cool her off, says mom, Jodie.

However, that didn’t seem to spoil the experience.

“(The) kids had fun afterward wearing their leftover ‘wounds’ to our remaining errands,’ Jodie says.
