I am finally blogging about our FABULOUS wonderful awesome trip to Disneyland. This trip was exactly what our family needed. It was so great to get away from our everyday life and just play and enjoy and have fun together. The memories we made are priceless, and the time we were able to spend together is invaluable. I loved being away from all the worries and stress, not having to worry about cooking or cleaning, and just get away from the drudgery of cancer and everything else that cancer entails. I took more than 500 pictures as I tried to capture each precious memory, that way when I am gone my family can look at these pictures and remember what a great time we had together.
I felt pretty good while we were in California. I had taken the week before off from chemo, and of course took the week off while we were on vacation. I am so frustrated that I feel sicker from the chemo than the cancer. I had a lot of pain still, but thank heavens for pain meds. I had to increase my dosage because of the abuse of being up and about more than I was used to. I either had a wheelchair or a scooter (talk about humbling to have to use those), so I was able to keep up with everyone else.
We loved Disneyland, all the rides, meeting characters, delicious food, and the magical place that it is. The weather was perfect! The kids loved having their own souvenir money and shopping for the perfect keepsakes. We had so much fun at a character breakfast, and getting autographs. I wish we could have stayed longer!
Thank you once again to Get away today, and all of the generous people who made this trip possible. You will never know how much this meant to us, and how grateful we are. The trip was perfect, and we will treasure the memories and the time we had to spend together as a family. Thank you!!!!
Here I am at Disneyland in my motorized scooter. Not only was it great for getting me around, it had room enough to load a child on with me when their feet got tired.
We loved the holiday themed Small World ride. It was lit up so beautiful!
Toon town was so FUN! We all enjoyed playing around and posing for silly pictures.
I was so thrilled to meet Aladdin and Jasmine.
This picture was taken at Universal Studios. We met Shrek, Donkey, and Fiona. Ammon LOVED Curious George, and SpongeBob.
Caleb and Ammon got matching Mickey Pirates of the Caribbean T-shirts, and the girls also got matching shirts, and fun Mickey Ears.
Just some more fun photos.
