Vacation at Disney World

We packed up and flew to the Magic Kingdom last week and had a great time. We decided that it would be good to get away for just a few days before Misty went back to work. Four days was perfect for us for our first trip to Disney World. Ben was beside himself as we prepared to go. When I picked him up on Wednesday his teacher said she had to warn him four times at nap time about settling down and going to sleep. So she requested that we not tell him where or when we are going somewhere next time. So I picked him and got his flu shot then we headed home to pack for the big trip. We flew down there and went over to the Magic Kingdom and the fun started. The weather was nice and the crowds were small. I told someone at work today that the wait times got up to 20 minutes on Saturday and they laughed at me saying that was a long time. They said last time they went during June it was MUCH longer than that. So we were blessed with a great time. We did all of the Magic Kingdom including Splash Mountain and Thunder Mountain roller coaster. Ben LOVED each of those and would do those 2 rides a hundred times again.

He of course made out like a bandit with the stuffed animals and souvenirs. So we made it home with everything and eventually got packed up. The only reason I mentioned that Ben got his flu shot before we went was.... he woke up Sunday morning saying he was cold. So he had a fever and we think well maybe we can get him home and get some Tylenol in him and maybe by Monday he will be fine. Well this morning his fever was just as bad or even worse so we visited Dr. Goldsmith today and confirmed that he has the H1N1 flu. So 5 days of Tamiflu and he should be back in action. Misty returned to work today to only be out for the next 2 days as I travel to a sales meeting. So pray for Ben as he battles this virus and that Misty and I don't get it too!!!

I am not sure if I posted this but the organizers of the race/walk to raise money for The Amelia Center e-mailed everyone to let us know they raised over $9,000! We also got a letter last week from the Executive Director of the Center and he informed us that the memorials that all of you have made now total more than $1,500!!! We want to thank you so much for remembering our little girl and helping this amazing place with your donations.

Thanks so much for all of your continued prayers as well.
