Elliot's Wish Trip... Video of our entire trip posted! (post 492)

Sounds like such a wonderful trip! The flight I see could have gone better but it made for a good trip report!! Love the dedication, staying up to write!

We woke up to sunshine and blue skies!!! Everyone was up and off to the gingerbread house for breakfast. After eating Addison looked at Mrs. Claus' chair and said she wished she could sit in it... I told her she could and her whole face lit up! All three kids decided to pile in together.

The first picture brought tears to my eyes. What a wonderful picture of your kids!! I can tell they really love each other.

I love that Trevor has his hand on Elliot's leg, making sure he is safe. :lovestruc
 
All caught up!!! (it has been a theme the last few days)((what else is new?))

What a great start! Elliot looks like he is having such a great time! Who wouldn't love Ms. Claus, Santa, carousel rides, and ice cream?

The bubble bath picture had me laughing!

Glad you got to feed the dolphins! We loved doing that too! :goodvibes:goodvibes


Great job on the report! :thumbsup2:thumbsup2

Finally all caught up again Christy...I LOVE the pictures, especially all of the fun you are having and video of Mayor Clayton and his wife doing the tuck in...PRICELESS!!! I am going to have to find special Jammies for all of my children to take with us, that will be so much FUN! I love everything, thank you for sharing your memories and trip with us and for all of your support for me through this past wild week!!! :hug::hug:
Thank you! the tuck-in was unforgettable and is still talked about daily!

Thanks!! I wish the dedication lasted the whole trip, I am scared I will not have a good account of our last 4 days or so!

Thank you so much. My kids are usually always bickering and fighting (well, any combination that includes Addison) but there were some great times when they got along :rotfl: Trevor is very, very good with Elliot though.

Thank you! Hope things are calming down for you!
 
I really had hoped to post Day Three this week, but it's been crazy around here... I had to get taxes done, my mother-in-law came up for the weekend, some gardening, yardwork and playground building has been going on and now I have two sick kids. Trevor and Addison both have a cough and fever, and Trevor has a sinus infection along with it. Last night was the worst I've ever experienced as far as fevers go - Addison's was up to 104.6 under the arm, then she threw up and it started to go down. Everyone is home from school today :( I am supposed to work tonight but am very hesitant to go in.
 
I hope it is okay to post this here....

I signed up to walk in the Louisville Walk for Wishes in June. Whenever I registered to walk I was entered in a drawing for a Ipod Nano and I won! I don't really have any use for an Ipod so I decided to raffle it off. $5 will get you a chance to win and I will draw on June 1st! All the money I get will go to Make a Wish. I will accept money through my paypal, just PM me for my address. I also have a page set-up through the Walk for Wishes site, if anyone is interested in donating directly.

Thanks!!

All seven of us were up early and off to the Gingerbread House for breakfast. My sister took some random, kind of wacky pictures at breakfast...
Waffles

After breakfast there were two little dogs outside with their owners, sitting on the bench just waiting to give a little love. The owners gave out cute little certificates to the kids for loving on the dogs. One of the dogs looked just like a dog we had for over ten years and lost last year. Addison is animal crazy and really wanted to stay there forever... only the mention of horseback riding could drag her away.

After the dogs, the kids had to squeeze in a quick ride on the carrousel.

After that we were off to Keaton's Korral to ride horses. Addison and Allie rode, while Elliot and Trevor watched, I am not sure why Elliot chickened out! The kids received certificates and cowboy hats!

The playground was directly across the street from our Villa so the kids went over their to play for a few minutes while we all got ready for the rest of the day. My sister took some more pictures of them playing.

Next Craig, Trevor and Elliot were off to Muaiva Air to fly in a four seater Cessna! Trevor got to ride up front next to the pilot and he actually got to fly the plane! He was so excited about this and is constantly referring back to it, saying nothing tops being able to fly a plane! They had a great time taking in Orlando from above. While they were off flying, the girls went to Walmart for a few necessities and some Disney merchandise shopping.

We met back up with the boys in the Village. We had Ice Cream before lunch, followed by lunch from Katie's kitchen. This picture (my sister took) cracks me up! Trevor, with my mom holding Elliot in the background!

A little squirrel stalked us the entire meal, hoping we'd drop something. I think she just about climbed up on the table to eat from our plates! After lunch we tried a little mini golf, but the kids bored of it quickly. We spent a little time in the train station after that.

The boys had planned to go on an Air Boat Tour that afternoon but Elliot begged to go to the pool instead so they did what he wanted! Me, Mom, Allie and Addison took off for Downtown Disney and few surprises!
