Make-a-Wish Day 1.

Our Limo came to pick us up bright and early at 4:30am. It was a very quiet drive to the airport as everyone was very sleepy.




We got all checked in and a wonderful lady from SouthWest Airlines and TSA helped us through the security lines. It is really no small feat traveling with a medical fragile child and all their necessary supplies. We had 5 medical carry-on bags and 1 bag that was checked which contained all our clothes. I don't think we will be flying again anytime soon. We totally understand that the TSA has to check all Brocs liquid medication and all his TPN and IV fluids to make sure they are all safe but WOW its still a lot for a family to go through.Everyone involved try to make the whole process as smooth as possible.





Broc was given a little gift from SouthWest Airlines too.










 
This special lady went above and beyond to make a flight as happy as she could. Both the boys were invited into the cockpit and of course asked a ton of questions. Both pilots were so happy to answer them all and even let the boys touch a few things. They felt really special.

Once we arrived our greeter Sonja from Give Kids The World was there with a big poster with Brocs name on it.








You can only imagine the boys excitement when they were offered to sit in these beauties! The boys had fun sitting in Corvettes in the parking garage while Daddy was getting our rental vehicle.

Once we got everything loaded we headed for the Village. Florida traffic was interesting to say the least. While driving Brocs says I know we are in Florida because there are palm trees everywhere!!













Once we got to the Village we went to the Town Hall to eat lunch as we hadn't eaten all day except for snacks. Lunch was yummy. After lunch we went to explore the village and hang out in their game room. We also went to visit the Castle Dreams to get the boys special pillows and Broc wrote his name in his star so that it could be put up with all the other children's stars.


















It was pretty warm so we were happy to escape the heat for a little bit. All the videos that go with each day will have to be posted on Facebook. Unfortunately I cannot put videos on his blog.
Thank you for enjoying our day with us. Day 2 will be up next.
