Make A Wish

Nothing says cool more than having your family photo session with "Frank" from Men in Black!

Okay,... there may be a few more things that are just as cool,... but for me, it will BE the top highlight of Hannah's Make A Wish trip.

"It seems like it went soooo fast," Kim seemed to be on her downward slide which tends to happen after a long anticipated trip to Give Kids the World, Disney, Universal, Busch Gardens, Sea World, and Orange Manor. Did I mention a drive-by at a local Harley dealer? Probably should since we went there on the only day of the entire year that they are closed.

We had heard about level of care you receive when you're on a Make A Wish, but come on! These people are insane in the best way! "Welcome. We're here to serve you," said the greeter who met us at the House of Hearts at Give Kids the World. "If you need something,... anything,...all you need to do is ask," she finished her greeting with a big smile. We arrived just before midnight.

While chatting with Mrs. Clause (that's right, we had the Mr. and the Mrs. meet and greet) she insisted on two things,... the first was that Sam sit on her lap, "You're not too big for me," she said in such a quiet, confident, caring manner. Her second request was that the children have ice cream for breakfast at least once while we were there. I didn't think that would be a problem since after our first morning trek to the Ginger Bread House for breakfast, we made a second stop at the ice cream shop for breakfast dessert!








We had such a wonderful time and so many people to thank for taking their time to make this a wonderful experience for our family. I'm currently working through about a trillion photos and epic hours of video film in order to turn this journey into a DVD extravaganza. Thank goodness I gave up scrap-booking to a more technological approach.

Thanks Make A Wish!
