The wishing Tower

It was magic from the time we stepped through the doors!


Caleb was the star of the evening!


We explored the grounds,


and spent some time at the wishing pond.


We each got to make a wish and throw a special coin in the fountain. They even gave us each another coin to save as a keepsake!



Our wish granters took us on a tour of the building, and we spent some time talking about Caleb's wish. They were great sports to entertain my boys' wiggles and short attention spans! We wrote down Caleb's wish, and then we all got to write our own wishes for Caleb to be read in the wishing room.


The boys could hardly wait...


There was a special lock for our special key


Matthew helped Caleb put it in the keyole.


Caleb was full of smiles as we stepped inside. There were beautiful lights and a magic waterfall in the center of the room!




We all got to read the wishes we wrote for Caleb.


Caleb's wishes from us were put in a knight for us to keep, and his special wish was put in a golden case!


We all helped send Caleb's wish to the wishing wizard!


It was magical!


Our wish granters were wonderful!


The evening was full of magic.


My boys will never doubt that wishes really do come true!



Caleb loves to be with his brothers so we helped him wish for a way that he can be more involved in play time with them! We are hoping to use some magic to conjure up something they can all enjoy and that will be adapted to meet Caleb's needs! We will likely wait to finalize our plans for a few more months... so that the wishing wizard will have time to think of something just right!

What an awesome experience. I also loved Matthew helping Caleb with the key! Good luck to the wizard in figuring out the perfect way to make the wish come true!
