Happy Birthday!!!!!!


ACS & GKTW are 2 wonderful organizations. We have been going to the relay for life for a few years now and they do a wonderful job. We were asked to be the keynote speaker this year but I had to decline because I have a wedding and I can't be there in the evening to talk.

I think having an ice cream social is a great idea. I know that every little bit helps keep GKTW running and providing a great service to so many Wish kids.

Great new update!

How I love to get up and there is an update of the sweet princess Ana!

What a cute shower cap photo! And what a clever decision not to go to Universal! Even though it is nice, but getting there later in the day with all the crowds can be painful!

Can't wait for you to start your new trip report!

Ceilings....

Wow those ceilings are such an inspiring sight! How wonderful that GKTW exists, it sounds like they are such a special place! I love the little decorations around the ice cream parlor, especially that strawberry...how cute!

 

[Mommy2LittleVols]

Thanks Julia!!!! Your little one is getting big! I see your FB pictures... I still can't get on your TR for whatever reason.

You can't get on the new one?? That is so weird!! Is it doing the same thing the last one did?

Love this pic of Juliana! I wondered how people made the BBB 'do last.

And then she had to decorate her star so it could be placed on the ceiling with the thousands of other Wish stars.

Ceilings....

Amazing....

Our family...

Such a great family picture!

I think you made a good call on skipping Universal and getting in more time at GKTW. That place is just so amazing! I'm so glad that you all had such a wonderful trip! Looking forward to your last post!

 

[mommy2mrb]

thanks for the age info....Megan turns 11 on this trip, looking forward to giving back to such a wonderful place in the future!

we have also decided to add them to our donations this year!


I also want to thank everyone who had the sweet comments on Ana's Big Sister sign....I loved creating it for her and look forward to making a little brother one when the prince arrives!

Great pix of The Village !!I love the Showere Cap pix !!Now if she had done the Canadian Thumms up pose we could be Twins

 

[IheartDDuck]

Love the picture of Juliana in the shower cap! I totally would have done the same thing! Save the princess hair!

The last day. It's always so sad, but you guys had such great memories on this trip.

 

[chloe770]

I love the shower cap! Too cute! Gotta save the princess hair. Those stars are so bitter sweet. The sight is amazing but so sad that there are that many sick kids. Kinda heart breaking actually. I'm glad you had a grea trip. Looking forward to hearing about the most recent one.

Looks like a relaxing last day. It would be hard to leave GKTW... that place just blows my mind. I don't think it would be possible for any kid to not like it there. I'm so glad that there is a place like that for the kids that need some extra magic in their lives.

 

[kaileighbug]

I am supposed to be looking for a house to rent in orlando....instead I am dising...I did mention to my mother in law about maybe volunteering while we are there as I do not believe we will make it to disney if we go in July...but that is okay because the trip planned in nov.

 

[All7OfUs]

Awesome update, Tim!! That place is so amazing- I wonder if any family really gets to experience all of it in in one stay. There just seems like there are more surprises around every corner!

I really like the picture of Mel and Ana on the slide!!

 

[Caretames1]

GTKTW looks like a wonderful place. I have a friend who just went there this last summer, and they had the best time. Their little girl has heart issues, and she was just overwelmed with everything they did for her. I'm glad there is a place where the WHOLE family can just be taken care of.

 

[tinytreasures]

Aww Ana in that cap is adorable
GKTW is amazing, so glad you took the time to enjoy it

 

[petals]

Luvin the update and pics from GKTW!

I didn't get to do anything on Paddy's Day btw because I was working but not complaining as it was double pay All more pennies for Mickey

 

[FreezinRafiki]

Outside of Amberville, is an actual train that goes around the building. Even though it was freezing out, we had to ride it at least once!

It's never too cold for a train ride!

Ceilings....

That's A LOT of stars! Sad that there are so many sick kids out there, but awesome that so many got to experience GKTW!

of course we had some ice cream after lunch.

Duh.

Up next.... some last minute shopping & an unbelievable story[/SIZE]

You're right. I already don't believe you.

 

[MaryAz]

Nice mellow last day... For now

 

[3prettyprincesses]

Awww, Ana is adorable in her shower cap! I read that you can wrap their head in toilet paper (honestly) to preserve the BBB hair style. We've never tried it but people say it works!

Oh, so many stars on that ceiling! How sobering. I'm just blown away by GKTW. What an amazing (aMAWzing!) place to stay for so many deserving families!

You all look great sitting on your thrones! Though poor Mel had to squat. Tim, why didn't you offer her yours??

That Candy Land game is awesome! I hope you keep it for Ana so that she can pass it on to her own sweet babies someday.

And of course you spent a little more time at the playground! Was that Ana's favorite thing at GKTW?

Excellent call on Universal. We were considering spending one day there this past trip (huge HP fans here!) but when I read about the crowds, yikes! I'm sure you all would've been very frustrated had you even attempted it. Much better decision to spend that time at GKTW.

Great last day!

I love the pics and updates! I feel like I 've been and there and am leaving... and it's over.. and I haven't gone yet! I wish that there was a way to slow down time and enjoy it a little longer!

 

[smileycrissy]

We missed Sponge Bob but we did get to see Squidward.

This is my fav picture!! Just kidding! Actually the family one at the thrones was my favorite in this new installment. Although I have to agree with Molly, what happened that poor Mel had to squat while you were nice & comfy? That's not nice!
