Ryan had a good day today. We went to the Starlight Children's Foundation Great Escapes Day. It was really nice that they provide these activities for the entire family. The people were so kind and caring...God's love displayed. After a couple of hours, Ryan was extremely tired and looked like he was going to get sick, so we headed home. But that wasn't before we had a lot of fun!
Here are some pictures and comments from the day:
We started the event off by eating pizza and watching some cartoons. Then the kids drew pictures of what they think should be on the hospital gowns. Their drawings will be entered in a contest.
Then it was off to the teacup. The one ride that I absolutely do not like, but the kids enjoy it.
After that was the highlight of the day....go carts! The kids took different approaches to the course. Ryan was slow and steady and after a while loosened up and even waved to me while he was driving. I think part of his challenge was actually reaching the pedals. It was questionable if he was tall enough to ride them, but he made it. Davianna was a different story. As she drove by me, she would actually pose for the camera. Then she thought that it would be fun to run into other cars. As she passed people, she would rub paint, laugh, and keep going. Eventually it caught up with her and she bump another kid and they both spun out.
The funniest thing was when they tried to get all the kids back into the parking area. They created a traffic jam and the guys had to physically move all the cars with the kids in them. Once they got them straight, the ones in the front (including Davianna) decided that they were going to go for another lap, so they had to run up to the front, stop them and then push them back to the parking area.
Here are some more pictures from the day.
When we got home, Ryan went straight to the bed for a nap. I think everyone dozed off for a little while and then we watched some tv. Mirjan painted Davianna's finger and toe nails. I am amazed that she can create those designs on such little fingers. Another talent of hers. Davianna was sooo happy! After dinner, the kids and I went for a walk while Mirjan was cleaning the tile. She is determined to make it shine and is doing a great job. Then it was bath time, prayers, and bed. Good day!
Father, thank you blessing us with a wonderful day for our family. Thank you for Starlight and the loving, caring people that made the event such a fun afternoon. I ask that you bless them and their families. Father, I am grateful for the blessings that you provide and today was one of those beautiful blessings. I ask that you keep Ryan's immune system strong, let his counts stay high, and continue to heal his little body. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
