Yesterday, Jonathan, Eric and I attended Jack's Make-A-Wish going away party for the family's Disney World Vacation. As part of the festivities, the children got to walk through and sit in a fire truck and also a squad car. Both vehicles were super, duper hits with all the kids. Jonathan and Eric were thrilled to death also although I think they were a bit overcome by the size of the fire truck at first. They both LOVED the squad car and would have sat in the back seat all day if I had allowed it. That has me a bit concerned for the future. Ha ha. The rest of the party was held inside and there was pizza, soda, chips, cakes, and brownies. The kids LOVED the chairs because they had wheels on them. My boys started pushing the chairs around and soon the whole room was filled with children pushing each other around the room on the chairs. It was total chaos. As the guest of honor, Jack was given some brief instruction on shooting a taser gun that fired wired barbs. He shot a target. That was a bit scary. (For those of you who don't know, Jack was diagnosed with lymphoma in May 2006 and after six long months of chemotherapy and several surgeries, he is now cancer free. He's truly a recovery miracle and a testimony to God's healing power!) Everyone had a fun afternoon. The boys were tuckered out and went to bed nice and easy.
