Make A Wish Trip - Day 1 - The Plane Ride!

The First day of Mason's Make A Wish Trip was all about going on an AIR PLANE!!! Mason was SOO excited! He was given a special Make A Wish Button to tell everyone that he was a special Make A Wish Kid. He was sure to tell EVERYONE that he gets to go to Disney World with Make A Wish.

While we were at the Orange County Airport, we happened to run into some old friend's of ours from Elk Grove, so we snuck a few of their kids into our pictures!

Here's Mason standing in front of our airplane before we were about to board!

And here's another! (We were lucky to capture this one with a half smile! Too excited to pose MOM!)


Destination - ORLANDO!

Both of my kids were SUPER good on the plane rides. I have to admit I was a little worried but they did awesome.. Not to mention Mason was given a special backpack from Make A Wish stuffed FULL of things to do while he was on the flight!
We spent the entire day flying, and didn't make it into Orlando until about 8pm that night. After we got off the plane, we were immediately greated by someone from the "Give Kids The World" Village. (That's where the Make A Wish kids stay during their time at Disney World!) They really know how to roll out the red carpet and make every child feel special! She helped us get our luggage and then excorted us to where we picked up our Rental Car. (Which happened to be a Brand New Toyota Sienna.. just like the one Mommy has at home!)
Then it was straight back to the Village to Check in. When we arrived at the village, they greeted us with Toys and treats for the kids, and then excorted to our very own "Villa". Since it was so late and we had missed dinner, they had a Pizza Delivered straight to our little house. It was so nice! We were eager to get unpacked and settled in for the night since the very next day we were going to get up and get going to The Wild Animal Park and Epcot!

I want to tell you how grown-up Mase looks in these pictures...but I won't because I hate when people tell me my baby is looking so grown-up. "He's a little baby, and he'll be a little baby forever!" is what I want to shout.

P.S. You make really cute little babies :) Can't wait for #3!

How did the latest screening go? We are so impressed with Mason's fighting spirit. What a strong kid. Glad he was rewarded for all of his hard work by going to Disney World. After all that chemo, he deserves the red carpet for sure! He's a hero.
