Moving forward with fatih

Oh My Goodness - 16 days until Disneyland!!! We are all SO excited. 

This was the last time we went as a family 3 1/2 years ago. The kids were so little.

Although I am SUPER excited, there are some things that make all of us a little nervous. The kids want to go so bad but also know that if Dad gets sick that we can't go - so onward with faith. We are planning and preparing and not planning on him getting sick. He has not been an inpatient in almost 7 months and we have no desire to end that streak now :) But it still weighs on us all and is something we think about.

I LOVE Disneyland - It really is magical. But, this is not a vacation at all.  We will be so busy and go go go. And I will even be doing one day at Disneyland with the kids by myself. We decided to give John a day off and rest and not do all 3 days with us. We aren't sure how much energy he will have. And that does not worry me, my kids are good and old enough and Abby is a great helper.

This is also the first time that we will not be staying in Anaheim and will have to drive one hour each way to and from. Which is fine because we will be closer to the beach for our days off.

Also I will be freaking out about a lot of things: sanitizing and germs and sun burns. A sunburn can give John GVH, so we will have a ton of sunscreen. And we will all be sanitizing after every thing we touch :) I have a feeling that this will be one of the trips that we come home from and I will say "OK - now I am ready for a vacation" :)
