My aunt & uncle blessed our family with the most amazing gift- one fully paid week at Wonder Valley camp in Sanger, CA. It's a family camp, run through an organization started by Joni Aerickson, focused on providing respite and FUN to families who have a child with a disability.
We enjoyed pony rides, trampolines, waterslides, swimming, a hot air balloon ride, trolley rides, a couples dinner (while the kids had a pizza party), BBQ's, a talent show... the list goes on and on...
We made some great friends, as did our kids, and will never forget this awesome experience.
There are too many pictures from this fun fun week, I'll post my favorites....

We received a very warm & enthusiastic welcome.

This is where we stayed. It was so beautiful!

Our little campers, ready for the day!

We dropped them off at their kiddie camp for a few hours each morning. Here's Vicki w/ Kiley, Cody, Selah & Cole.

This is at the talent show. Even the little preschoolers did a little show that was just so cute.

The kids made these tie-dyed shirts @ their kiddie camp

On our trip home, we stopped in Modesto for In n Out.


And another pit stop at Arden Fair mall... mommy's favorite :)

What great fun! I am so glad that you guys got the chance to go away and have lots of fun as a family. You all deserve it so much. And I am jealous, I want to go on a hot air balloon before I die! Was it fun? Thanks for sharing the cute pictures. Love the tie dyed shirts too.
Wow! What a wonderful gift! Not only from your relatives, but from God! I'm so happy for you!
The kids are so adorable! Kiley looks more and more like you, Jenny!
Caedon doesn't look like a baby anymore. And I miss Cody so much...
I love you all very much!
