Ben's Wish - Day 6 (triumphant return)

We cleaned up the room for most of the morning. At 11am we checked out and and headed over to the movie theater and watched Alice in Wonderland in 3D. What an amazing flick. The kids liked it almost as much as I did.

After the movie we grabbed a couple of treats and some lunch and headed for the airport. To say that the kids were a bit wiped out from the week of adventures would be an understatement. I think they had a great time. Nate got to his seat in the terminal and then didn't move. He sat there zoning, leaning on his backpack. After a while I looked over and he had crashed.



The flights home were fairly uneventful. I am not sure if we were sad leaving California and warm sunny weather or just dreading going back to the weight of everyday life.

Ben has his next MRI on Wednesday -- keeping our fingers crossed. What a great chapter to this wild adventure. Ben's wish was a real dream come true vacation for our whole family! We are extremely grateful to everyone who took care of things while we were away and who made it possible for us to spend such a fun and exciting week together at Mickey's house.

  1. We sure love you guys. I cried through every Disneyland journal entry and then started bawling everytime he mentioned you crying. It must be contagious. You really are the best and are such strong people. We will pray for Ben tonight and hope his MRI goes well. Love ya!
