What can I say...
It was truly magical what happened this weekend.
I don't think that I can ever express the feelings that Whit and I had during this experience.
We had to not think about what was happening because it was pretty unreal.
We are humbled, grateful, inspired, overwhelmed, and speechless.
I feel a sense of selfishness when thinking about all that was done for us. There are so many families that struggle through challenges, we are not the only ones.
Yet here we had over 4,000 people come for us, for Jonas, for Maggie, for SMA.
Pure Magic!
Jonas had so much fun! I was just waiting and waiting for him to be done, but it never happened. I think he could have stayed there all night! I'm sure he could sense that this was a place full of happiness and he wanted to stay in it.
We arrived early, so we could wander and try a couple of things before it got too crowded. The bounce house was a hit!
We could jump like Tigger in there!
Dad went first and then I couldn't resist jumping with my baby boy!
He's heavy..what a workout!
Just the beginning of the carnival...it goes way back into the trees.
Everything was so organized!
Meeting Tinkerbell aka Kristen aka Magic Maker aka the one, along with her mom, who started the magic. Thank you Kristen and Kristi, we love you!!!!
Hangin' out with Daniel (Good in the Hood Pres), Brandon and Papa
Just one of the groups of amazing Olympus High students! I was blown away by the support from these students who most of them had no clue who we were. They came so willingly and we are so grateful!
Face painting, what fun!
One of the many thoughtful details was having Disney characters walking around.
I can't believe that this was about all the pictures that we took. It doesn't really do the event justice.
There was a Magic Wands for Maggie booth, Jack-o-Lanterns for Jonas booth, a boutique, silent auction, games...oh so much.
Thank you everyone. Thank you for loving us.
