Wish I may Wish I might......

This week we went to the Make-A-Wish foundation with our family and both sets of grandparents, there Lukie made his Wish. Even though Lukie has been great he does have a Life threatening Medical condition. We felt like now while he is doing well is a good time for him to ask for a wish. We tried our best to prepare Lukie with the questions they asked to come up with the best wish for him. To get Lukie to open his mind to possible wishes we played a wishing game. When the game was finished they asked Luke for 3 wishes. This is what his wishes are: #1 Swim with the fishies at Sea World. And a dry suit so that he can swim with everyone. Also a "donut boat" aka tube from 7 peaks. #2 A trip to Disneyworld to see Woody, Jesse, and Lightening McQueen. #3 Toys. After he declared his wishes we went to the wishing tower. To get into the tower we had to use Lukie's special key. In the tower everyone made a wish for Lukie. It was a really cool experience. The last one to make a wish for Lukie was Isaac. Isaac is always so goofy and we never know what to expect him to say. But he gave the best wish of all "to get better". It was really sweet and really set the mood for Lukie to submit his wish to the wishing wizard. It was a magical night and we can't wait until the wishing celebration to see what wishes they grant:)
