WESTPORT A small pinch in the arm didn t keep kids from taking the first step in returning to a normal summer.

Brennan Gaisford, 12, received his vaccine because he can t wait to go back to summer sports camps and make new friends. An avid Tampa Bay fan for both baseball and basketball, Gaisford is also looking forward to traveling to Hawaii with his family later this year.
