Angel's Hand Foundation 7-19-14

Oh how I wish we could have stayed at the park with Angel's Hand Foundation all day!  It was fun to see all the people and see all the cars and motorcycles.  But with the air quality as bad as it is and the heat it was just too much for Rhett and Dylan.  Rhett and Dylan were starting to over heat with ice and with cold water and shade.  There was nothing that I could do about the air quality but Rhett so wanted to go, even though he had spent the night in the hospital for a sleep study.  After a restless night sleep and early morning we went home and got ready to go even though we left late.  We got there and there was a ton of cars and I pushed Rhett in the wheelchair and Nikole pushed Dylan in the stroller.  I love the support I feel from the families and friends of Angel's Hand Foundation.  It is nice to know that there are others that struggle with medical problems too.  No they don't have the same medical problems that we have in our house but they can understand the toll that it takes on the kids and families.  I am so very grateful to Todd for introducing me and my family to Angel's Hand Foundation.  We have been with them for quite a while and we love being able to make memories while we have time to make them.  It is nice to have good memories while we struggle through the rough times since we seem to have several rough times.  For those families like mine we cannot afford to do fun things with our families.  We struggle with so much as it is, I am beyond grateful for Angel's Hand Foundation and the fun things that they are able to pull together for us.  My kids look forward to being able to spend time doing fun things instead of always being at the doctors office or stuck inside.Thank you so much for everything that you do for our family Mark and the Angel's Hand Foundation family!

We had a chance to go with AHF to the Zoo, and of course the kids loved it!! Here are some awesome pictures we were able to capture while we were there.

The ball was a huge hit!

Gavin is a great big brother and loved helping Dylan go down the slide.

They are going to hatch out of an egg.

The baby geese were a crowd gathering sight too.

The peacock was calling and strutting but I couldn't get a picture or his tail open there were too many people blocking the view. Oh well next time.

Of course the monkeys are always the funniest things at the zoo.
They had my kids cracking up all over the place. :)

Oh the cute little baby elephant was just too cute to describe.

Can't say that this isn't a cute baby.

Surprised to see a tiger on the move. Usually all the big cats are sleeping.

Stopped to have a bathroom break.

Dylan liked to see things that were easy to see. Don't blame him I do too. :)

This one was pacing back and forth. Kinda weird.

This llama was trying to break out by eating the lock on the cage. LOL

This is where Gavin got lost. Seriously lost. Couldn't find him anywhere with a ton of people walking around my heart was pounding. :( I was so scared, I last saw him with daddy looking through the windows with the other kids and then I was waiting for them saw them but no Gavin. Daddy went to find him and couldn't and I was searching while keeping the other kids close by. When I saw that he was still missing after daddy had looked for him I decided to leave the other kids with daddy and go and find him. Saw him walking the opposite direction than where we were at. But to see him again I was almost in tears with joy.

Lazy gorilla!

Love Bald Eagles!

Camels are usually the last thing we see. :)

This is what daddy got to do the whole time. :) He got off easy.

This is what I got the whole time. LOL At least Nikole was great and walked the whole thing by herself! I figured she was old enough to walk by us and not get lost. I was right!
