Make-A-Wish Day 5. Sea World.

Wow. Our last day. It surely was a whirlwind of a trip but totally worth the extreme fatigue we felt afterward. We wanted to make the most of our last day and our flight wasn't until that evening so we decided to take the boys to Sea World. What an amazing place. 




Broc got to eat a small cup of ice cream on his last day. Yes for breakfast.


Visiting with another wonderful volunteer.


Back at the Castle of Dreams to see where Brocs star was placed.





We loved all the character fire hydrants.





As you can see. The boys were exhausted from all the previous days activities. 










Broc finally got to see Orcas in real life and not just on paper or TV.













The dolphin show was amazing too.


Feeding the stingrays was an incredible experience. They were squishy and silky at the same time.






Daddy stingray got so happy with all the shrimp the boys were feeding him that he flapped so hard he sprayed them with water. 


Our flight was delayed a couple times due to all the storms in the area. Our flight attendant had so much fun with all his passengers. We played games and even had a talent show to pass the time. Thank you #SouthWest for amazing service. You made our flights both there and back seamless. 




Driving home in style once again.




Thank you to everyone that made our trip possible. Thank you to all the volunteers at GKTW, Make a Wish America and the OH,KY,IN Chapter too for all your hard work. You truly gave our family an experience that we will never forget and talk about forever. Our family and especially Broc has been through more than any person could go through in a lifetime. He has endured and will continue to endure until the end. We find happiness and joy in all our trials and even though this trip was possible because of Brocs poor health we found so many joys,met wonderful people for life and have a lifetime of memories to hold onto.

Thank you for traveling with us and enjoying all our pics. Thank you too for your continued love,prayers and support. 
 


Make-A-Wish Day 4

We took our time having breakfast and spending some time at the Village. We had spent the whole day at the Monster Jam yesterday so we didn't need to get there super early either. We had visited with most of the drivers and had them sign the boys journals.

We made more friends at breakfast and listened to an orchestra play afterwards.





 Ricky was such a sweet boy. The boys loved helping him clean up the dishes and their morning chats. The volunteers at GKTW are really wonderful people.








I tried to win this part of Tom Meents truck for Broc. Mark was so thankful I never did. How in the world would we get it back to Indiana!!

We met the wonderful folks from Gator Land and the boys were able to hold a baby gator. Another highlight of their day. 







It was so hot we knew we were in for a stormy night.



Titus loved having his picture taken by the end of our trip.




Weather delay and severe storm warnings with torrential downpours called for everyone to take cover. 





What a bonus!! Jim was hanging out with the kids. Answering all kinds of questions. 



 The wish dads!


The wish moms and the kids!





The final jump of 7 trucks.


Thank you Monster Jam for an amazing experience for our family. Our last day is next. Day 5.
