The week has come for Cole's wish come true from the Make a Wish foundation. It was a bumpy ride. The wish granters disappeared on us and MAW and so everyone kinda forgot about Cole. So, we decided just to go ahead and do it, so no more stress for Cole. He was beginning to think it wasn't going to happen. Onto Bass Pro so he can shop hard. He has been limited in life because of his heart condition and not been allowed to do everything most kids get the chance to try, not because he physically can't, but because no one will allow him to take the risk of his heart stopping or anything like that. This time, it's his turn. Cole will do something no one else his age really gets to do....okay maybe in a wealthy family, but not terribly common. He's had a great time making a list of things he wants. He pretty much can shop anywhere, but since he has to have a rep from MAW with him to purchase everything, he chose to order the items he wants from Walmart and then enjoy his time at Bass Pro. They will pay for our gas, lunch and dinner since it's an all day trip. The little kids are excited too because they will get a few bucks to spend at Bass Pro as well and for once they get to order their own meals when they eat out instead of sharing everything (that's the only way we can afford to eat out even once a year with them all). :) I told them they can even order a drink instead of water. So exciting!
I can't wait. I know Cole's looking forward to this. He may not have gotten his first wish, but this is something he really wants and will thoroughly enjoy!
