Field Trip!!

chalk is awesome!!

 Danny's whole class at the Jacksonville Zoo today :)

Danny and his "buddy" Vaughan

Lunch :)

Nana - look at me!!

 The zoo had a great new exhibit about dinosaurs!!

As Danny walked by  the Dinosaur "roared" and scared the heck out of Danny!!!

 Danny and Nana had a GREAT time!!!!
The weather is beautiful!! Sunny and in the 80's!! We hung around outside all afternoon :

My own Girly pedicure :)

keeping himself busy with his St*r W*rs sticker book

Then the Dr kit came out :) I got LOTS of shots :)

Back home again!

Gerri "talking" to her barbie :)

Doing homework while the girl scouts cook breakfast

It is hard to write 2 sentences

Watching 2 boys play xbox :)

Danny played Dora, but was more interested in Indiana Jones

So they played Cars and raced each other!!

They got very comfortable!

Teacher Gerri had class after breakfast!!

They were talking up a blue streak :)

Gerri and Danny were singing like crazy, Danny stopped when he saw my camera :)
The loud noise is the plane


Here is a quick video of our welcome home! Since we got in at 5:30 I had hubby and Victoria meet us at a restaurant :) The kids were SO cute!

Welcome Home!!! (till Next Friday)

Cast #3 and mini AMC/RR meet ups!!

Gerri being a ham with Aaron and his dad :)

Lots of RR kiddos :)

Ms Julia meeting Alayna :)

The group!! 9 sn kiddos adopted through Reeces Rainbow!! And a bunch of AMC'ers!!

The boys smashing their toy phones!!

Ms Tammy goo goo over Ms Monroe :)

There were bodies everywhere!!

It was SO fascinating to the kids when the candy bar got caught in the machine :)

Danny and Sophie talking :)

Playing with the DS

Then it was finally our turn!!! Each visit is harder for Gerri :(

 She says it hurts the whole time they are sawing off the casts, but is not specific about where it hurts. I have to hold her pretty tight or she jiggles all around. I kept her busy by talking and singing till it was done.

Amazing!!

Ms Mimi came in to hug Danny :) :)

Danny was treated special by everyone :)

It gets pretty messy during casting!! We ALL end up wearing it!

 Gerri was SO uncomfortable during casting today :( Dr vB is pretty hopeful about her foot bones so we will keep it up! Next week we will get this cast off and have x-rays done to tell us the real story.   I had given her some pain meds before we left, but we had a very long wait today and they had worn off by our turn. So next time I take them WITH me :)

Very pooped out from the whole thing!

Danny finally got to see the infamous cow pillow in the game room! Gerri is very proud of her yellow/red casts!

The volunteer group for dinner had lots of kids that came to play with everyone!!

Danny had SO much fun helping them prepare the mexican taco dinner :)

After dinner we had a puppet show!!

The really nice thing about going every week is that we get to meet friends that I have only ever met online!! Some that I have emailed with for years!! I also get to meet new families.
Danny has had so much fun even if he got a bit bored today waiting around :)
But we had school while we waited, counting, spelling, sounding out letters and words.
We will be back next week, just Gerri and I for a 1 day very long day, fly in early and fly out late!

what!! the plane!! again!!

yes she completely dressed herself!!

Danny's teaching math

Daddy needs help painting!

Look at me go!

Danny is SO excited to be going with us to Philly

Watching a movie!! very engrossing!

Waiting to board!

tracing (OT) is so much fun!!

They both did this for an hour!

Eating our pb and fluff on green bread for dinner!

Then we did ABC's and 123's!!

wow mom! that is a lot!

Playing at the RMH!!

I picked the kids up at school at 3 and we arrived at the RMH in Philly at 8:30!! Wow are we tired!!
Danny was SO excited about being here he was just non-stop! Gerri kept telling everyone that she was here with her brother and she was going to show him around :)

We already met another AMC family here, they are SO nice. They come all the way from Canada!!
Tomorrow we meet a bunch of Reece's Rainbow families at Shriners and we are SO excited!!! Well at least I am :)

Happy St Patrick's Day!!
