Make a Wish Trip for Port

Just so you all know how grateful I am for Salem Hills High School for granting Porters wish and making it possible for our family to enjoy a fantastic trip to Disney World. The kids at that high school are truly remarkable!! I hope they continue to have success in every venture of their life!! Our trip home, not quite as fun, but at least port had his DSi to keep him occupied!!
This is the cottage we got to stay in. This was our home away from home, it was nice to have all the amenities of being home. I love this place!!

Porter caught a snapping turtle with his fishing pole here at the pond. He was using a hot dog for bait!!
This is the theater where the kids ate as much pop corn, soda and pixie stick powder as they wanted. Porter kept refilling his powder stick with all kinds of sour concoctions!! He loved it!! We also got to see a magician perform one night for us!
This is the arcade and train station at "Give Kids the World"
Give Kids the World Ice Cream Parlor, it was always OPEN and the kids could have as much as they wanted!!! It was all FREE ICE CREAM and CAKE all of the time. My kids Dream!!

This is the ginger bread house that we could eat all of our meals at, we only ate breakfast there because we were always off at one of the parks for the rest of the day. This was all FREE too!

This is the carousel that the kids could ride on, it was always open too! Once again everything at GIVE KIDS THE WORLD was FREE!!! LOVED THIS TRIP!

Camo really like the carousel

Port loved being in the pool! It had fountains you could turn on that would go over the top of the pool, and the water would land in the middle. Pretty cool!
"Give Kids the World Resort" The kids loved playing in the pool!!


We spent the day at the Epcot Center


The train replica from BACK TO THE FUTURE at Universal Studios in Orlando

Play days!!

Colee & Camo at the splash pad in Highland. They play so well together









I love watching these two. They really are quite the pair!



YELLOWSTONE

Lilly pads on the water. They were beautiful.




Brents mom went with us to Yellowstone. We had such a great time.











OLD FAITHFUL. These geysers are amazing. It is crazy to think they continue to blow steam daily and the heat of the water is extremely hot!






Me Porter and Wilson. Porter and that smile....he just makes me laugh.





















LAKE POWELL................WE LOVE LAKE POWELL.................CAN WE LIVE THERE????

Camo passed out on grandma. He takes after his mom and big brother. We all fall asleep on the boat!!


Look at this, even my baby is already in the habit. The boat is the best place to sleep!






OUR PLAY DAY AT THE POND





Porter loved being in the water on this hot day.
