It's a super fun splash park in Denver. Tuesday afternoon we dropped dolly off with her grandpa and made our way there. We were invited as part of a Children's Hospital event for the CHIP (Children's Hospital Infectious Disease Department or something like that. The P comes from where?? I don't know. But CHIP sounds nicer than CHID, eh?) patients and their families. This is where we will be taking Meadow. Oh my goodness, the people there were INCREDIBLE. The employees are amazing, friendly, kind, capable and I know they do admirable, excellent work to advocate for the children others may shun. It was refreshing to meet several families who have already welcomed + children or are in process like we are and really
get it. I didn't once feel the need to explain, why? They know why. Without me saying a word, they know. It was chilly, but the rain stayed away and we had a blast.
Of course, I did not take my camera into the water park with me so I don't have any shots of it.
What I did manage to capture was the hotel room we stayed in since the party ended at 9:00 pm and we thought we could make a mini vacation out of it.
Exciting photos. I know. Wednesday morning we went to the hotel pool before we headed back, which was fun too.
Here is Tyden riding his bike. Not to be outdone or left behind by his siblings, he was determined to learn and easy to teach. Jayla started his lessons by running behind him holding the seat just like mom or dad would do. Sweetness.
He's riding like a champ now. With the big 3 kids on their bikes and the 2 little ones in the double stroller, we can take real, long walks now. I have been waiting for this time to come for Y E A R S ;-)
These are the days. Worthy of rejoicing.

was that a hampton inn?? looked JUST like our room from when we went to that amusement park...except we got the one with the king instead of 2 beds.
and YAY for real walks!! i know what you mean! how FREEING!
yes, YAY for real walks - oh wait - we're not there yet :-)
encouraging to know we will be....one day....sometime!
oh, and fun vacation! short and sweet - no time to mess it up!
Looks like you had a nice trip...even if all we see is the hote.! Love those times away! So exciting to be around people who know your situation, isn't it? It's the same for me when I go to the Angelman Syndrome Conferences. Those people relate (on one level....none of them have twins with Angelman, so it's different for me in that sense!) I'm so glad you have people you can connect with that understand your situation. It will bring you such comfort and peace as you go through your exciting new journey!
