We got a special package in the mail from the "Make a Wish Foundation!"
Inside it had a special key...
that would open the door to the wishing room!

Our trip to Make a wish
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 keyhole.
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 and he loves to be outside! So we wished for a play set with a handicap swing so that that Caleb and his brothers can have adventures together outside!
November 2009
We helped with a "Make a Wish Family Fun Run" to raise money for the foundation! We were touched by the many family and friends who came to support our family and the foundation!
Our wish came true!
This week our play set was installed! We are thrilled!! Caleb's handicap swing has been ordered and should arrive soon! We are truly humbled to be the recipients of a gift that will bless our boys with many happy memories in the backyard.
Thank you MAKE A WISH!
The installers were great sports to let Mitchell help.
We love seeing the play set filled with people we love!
We're excited to make memories for years to come!

oh you made me cry!!! That is soooo special how you get to ask for your wish by going there and with the waterfall etc - so amazing and such a nice experience for the whole family.
Your new playground in your yard looks amazing, and I can't wait to see the swing for Caleb. We went on a family holiday with Noah and the boys will never forget it. Make a Wish are an amazing oganisation.
How fun! I love organizations like that. Your family deserves to have some fun!
