I spent a good bit of time in the condo but can’t complain much.  We were able to get a good deal on a condo at Dunes Village Resort.  The resort features two indoor water parks with a couple of fun slides and lazy rivers and kids’ splash area.  They also had a little putt putt area and Starbucks (happy day).

This was the first time Emmie had gotten down on her knees and just “sat” there.  As soon as she moved in to the cervical collar, we started immediately seeing her gain confidence and become more independent. Hot dog time. As soon as we arrived, I was sequestered to the bedroom to participate in a panel for an NF study. Emmie was super excited about getting to the water. Putt Putt time.   While the kids ran around with clubs, Mark and I watched another large family come up and play some too.  Of course, we had to visit.  They were a sweet family with nine children and one on the way.  I love how we can have an instant connection with total strangers because of the sheer number of kids that keep following us around. Cuteness abounds with this girl right here.

It was such a great trip because for once, we were able to get away and just relax and breathe after all Emmie has overcome and before heading into adoption stuff again.
