Recovery Day 3

 Recovery day 3....

What an amazing day... Julia from the foundation at Primary Children's invited the kids to Fly Delta to the North Pole. We already had Asher's surgery scheduled so we first told her we wouldn't be able to go. Then she thought maybe the other kids would love the opportunity to go and bring it to him..

The bus picked us up at Primary Children's.. But it was so big it couldn't fit so we got to walk over to the Eccles building... Along the way we met up with the cutest heart family and instantly the girls were busy playing...

This elf read us a Christmas story on the way to the airport.

we picked up our boarding passes and went through security. MayLee woke up on the wrong side of the bed and kept getting a little emotional. She did not want to be part of this picture.

All the pilots and "elves" helped us get ready to board.

The Jet Bridge was wrapped in paper the whole way down.. It felt like you were inside a gift...

Even the crew was dressed and ready for the fun trip..

The whole inside of the plane was decorated

We even got a snack, we knew we were flying because we had "trip treats" as our family calls them.

We sang and danced to Christmas songs.

 After we "landed" We could see the north pole hanger with all the elves inside..

There were stockings..

Getting our face painted

We sat on Santa's lap and they had a gift for each child, even Ashy got to tell him what he wanted for Christmas over FaceTime.

I couldn't snap pictures fast enough to catch that Gator got a soccer ball and net and immediately opened it and found a friend to start playing with it... 

When we came back to the hospital in the entrance May's picture is still being shown there.

Asher got to open his gifts... he was so excited and wanted to get started on playing right away..

Then Daddy stayed while I took the other kids home..

There wasn't much keeping Ash at the hospital... He just keeps having wonky blood pressure. And he was a little too fluid negative. So we have to tweak those things and hopefully be ready in the next couple of days...

Thank You Delta for the amazing and magical north pole experience!!
