So, where do I start? Above everything else, the trip was FUN. How is that for finding the joy in things? It was very hot, every day, very hot. It also rained nearly every day, but not for hours and hours. We had some pretty good thunder storms that closed the pool, but we worked around it.

We got there on Saturday, spent that night around the hotel, in the pool. Sunday we went to the Magic Kingdom for the day. Disney was so very accommodating for Hannah. They gave us a pass to use her stroller as a wheelchair, so we could wheel her right into any rides. They also gave us a special pass that allowed us to bypass all of the lines. Wow, that was big. Instead of having to wait an hour for a ride, we went right in with the other handicapped guests, and never had to wait more than 5 or 10 minutes. They even allowed everyone with us-there were 8 of us all together with Grandma and Grandpa, my sister Sue and her daughter Sydney. So, we could all go on the rides together as a group when we wanted and no one was left out. That was very nice.

I won't try to put it all in this one update, don't want to put any of you to sleep. Monday we went to Discovery Cove to swim with the dolphins (my absolute favorite), Tuesday with Seaworld (not my favorite) and the rest of the days at the Disney parks. Oh-and Wednesday morning at the ER clinic. Nope, not Hannah but Colby. It's almost a tradition-when we go on vacation, Colby usually has a visit to the local ER/doctor. It's been ear infections, fevers, this time it was an eye infection. I thought it was simply a stye that would go away, but it got much worse and swollen. ER doc said it was a very common almost internal stye, gave her some antibiotics, and eye cream and hundreds of dollars later we were on our way. Only took us 4 hours, so that wasn't too too bad.

Here are a few pictures....next post I'll tell you why Hannah is not walking now and how she got hurt.
