Day TWO: Make A Wish

Day TWO: Make a Wish

Today is our first of three at sea days. What is a family to do?

We woke up had breakfast together and then the kids wanted nothing to do with us. They had things to do.
So off Mason and Kendall went to their respective play area’s which left Greg and I on our own.

So while they were playing with Mickey and Goofy we went to the gym. 
Thankfully the gym was huge with a lot of equipment because there was at least 30 people getting their workout on. 
My favorite part of the gym – besides when Greg said done was the view. It was incredible. It was at the very front of the boat. Absolutely breath taking.

From there we sat outside bundled up and enjoyed our coffee and the cool air.

Around lunch time we wrangled up our kids and headed to lunch. When asked what they wanted to do after lunch they naturally yelled “POOL”.

Really? Did they not know how cold it was outside?

This is their trip so if they want to go in the pool. The pool we shall go!
The kids had a blast (the pool is more like a hot tub temperature) and Greg took one for the team and got in (sort of). You see he had on his swim shorts and a sweatshirt (yes in the pool). Me. I was bundled up pool side with a blanket.
The lifeguards looked like they were getting ready to go skiing in Stevens… Hopefully this gives you a visual to the temps we are taking about here…

Every good swimming session needs an appropriate snack afterwards so ice-cream we had!

Tonight was “formal” night. This sounded like WAY to much work so we opted to go see the movie Planes: fire and rescue and have a more casual dinner (like in our sweats).

To finish off the night we went to the show: The Mickey Awards. I wasn't sure if my kids would make it but it captivated them both. This worked perfectly. When we got back to our room they were both out within 5 minutes!

Tomorrow’s agenda is going to be another packed day.
·         - Character breakfast in the morning
·         - Tracy Arms around 12pm
·        -  Kendall's special meet and greet with the princesses.


Thanks for checking in!

Loaded Diaper?!?!?

Today's post title comes to you from the one and only Greg Garka... Thanks for the idea babe! As far as Mason is concernced today was another good day for our little man! We made our goal and got up and went on a total of three walks. The last walk of the night he spotted the “playroom” and was interested so we stopped and visited with our neighbors while he played. It was the highlight of the day. His appetite decreased today but that is to be expected since he hadn’t yet had a bowel movement (in 6 days)– however about 60 minutes ago things changed in that department and I am happy to report his bowels are working and back in action… During his echo he was again a crowd pleaser and was on his best behavior. The technician said that he was the best 3 year old she has done. It is so funny; he gets upset when something is about to happen and he doesn’t understand what. He tells us he is scared and then after we explain to him what they are going to do and that it won’t hurt –

Our Day at Children's

Hello all, Kelsey and I spent the morning at Children's Hopsital in Seattle today, what a place! They sure do a good job of trying to make the kids feel comfortable...part of me didn't even feel like I was at a hospital. We met with a Cardiologist, Dr. Vernon, and a Paranaetologist, Dr. Holmgren (yes, Mike Holmgren's daughter). Both of them were very nice and extremely informational. Dr. Vernon did confirm that Mason has HLHS and is a candidate for the Fontan Operations, which are the three stage surgeries he will have to go through to get his heart working as normal as possible. Kelsey and I have been talking about where we would want to do the surgeries in case we weren't comfortable with Seattle Children's. We knew going in that Children's in Seattle is one of the premeir hospitals in the country, but weren't sure how they were compared to other hospital's like University of Michigan with this particular heart disease. I'm glad to say that w

Wordy Wednesday or Wordless Wednesday????

The big question of the day should I be wordy or wordless on Wednesday? If I go WORDY a post might have quotes such as: - When you are through changing you are through - It takes both rain and shuneshine to make a rainbow - If a care is too small to be turned into a prayeer, it is too small to be made into a burden - We make our plans, but the Lord determines out steps. Proverbs 16:19 - The world at its worst needs a church at its best - The essence of generosity is self-sacrifice - Philanthrophy, like chartity must begin at home - A reject opportunity to give is a lost opportunity to recieve If I go WORDLESS I could share my life through photos... Message me, facebook me, call me, leave a comment or talk to me in person either way let me know your thoughts...
