It was so fun to be able to share some of this time with Nichole and her precious family!! Future DIS meets with Wish Kids should definitely occur on the playground!
Thank you so much for letting me share this time with your family. I really can't thank you enough!
After we had our fill of the train, it was time to check out Matthew's Boundless Playground.
This is an amazing, fully wheelchair accessible, play structure. It is set up like a giant Candyland game board. It was so neat to be able to bring Noah right up to the top in his stroller.
This playground is completely amazing! It really feels like a dream.
Nichole, your pictures are awesome!!!!
But it is so hard to describe the feeling of being on that playground, surrounded by these castle-type villas...I really felt like I was in some sort of dream land.
The fact that it was accessible and I could see Noah (and imagine others, including Lauren) possibly doing things on a playground that he has never been able to do...it was awesome!
Nichole and Brad get to enjoy this every day... But I have to share this with you guys...Joshua and Kailyn had lots of fun too! It is hard to describe, too, how cool it was to see them interact with each other. How sweet they were to each other. I don't think I saw them fight one time over the tire swing! They shared it, let each other take turns, pushed each other, even! Precious children. So well behaved!! And then they included Noah in everything they could. We could not take a picture, because both Nichole and I were standing there with our hands out to catch any mishap...but one of the sweetest moments for me (and something Nichole probably sees every day!) was when Joshua and Kailyn invited Noah to get on the swing with them. I wish you could just hear Noah giggle. It makes me cry happy tears now just thinking about it. Just laughing, and laughing. He had so much fun with his big brother and sister on that swing!
We had tons of fun getting to know Mary better and checking the place out with her.
Aw...you are so sweet!!
This was a fun picture! Check Joshua out...just smiling at his little brother! Kailyn is so cool!
Noah just kept giggling, looking up at me, and giggling some more! He is so sweet!
The carousel turned out to be Noah's absolute favorite thing to do at GKTW. We have been working on teaching him a bit of sign language, and he began signing "more" on the carousel. By the end of the week, he would sign "more" throughout the entire ride.
That carousel...I can almost hear it, even sitting her at my office. I have listened to the DISUnplugged broadcast about GKTW several times and my favorite part is at the very end...just listening to the carousel...
This was a magical afternoon for me. Thanks for letting me share in part of your wonderful trip!
And thank you SO much for sharing it!!!! I know that your days are probably long and you have taken time out to share your wonderful trip and provide the future Wish Families with a wealth of information already! Thank you.
And with THIS...I just can't say anymore....
Priceless.
so it is off to the Gingerbread house for some dinner.
