Boys field trip to SeaWorld
the boys had a class field trip to SeaWorld San Antonio today. they enjoyed themselves, got to pet see dolphins up close, alex fed a seal, and they just had an in general educational experience. it times like this though that i remember just how eager and fragile alex can be. even though i took his wheelchair, and he spent a good portion of time in it (mixed with a little running around) he left exhausted. he fell asleep on the bus ride home, i put him in the car still asleep, he slept all the way home, and all the way up until i think 5 or so. just plain exhausted. donovan was just as tired as the other kids, but alex... it just reminds me how fragile he is. i don't know how we are going to make it through a week at Disney World, in the middle of june. we will really need to pace ourselves, that's for sure. class is about to start, gonna cut this short for now... later y'all.

Did you read my blog about Sea World? I was wondering how your experience compared. It will be hard to pace disney but I am sure Make a Wish can give you lots of tips to help.
ReplyDeleteJenna,
ReplyDeletei just read your post. that's horrible, that describes the whole experience that alex had. and the crowds. donovan doesn't like crowds and there is no place to escape them. its not a very fun place to go. we only went because it was a school field trip and the boys wanted to go. there really wasn't anything for alex to do but look at animals. he's so small. i was thankful that the rides weren't open anyways. and it is amazing that people have no regard for the disabled, they would just the wheelchair out of the way. personally, i won't be going back. the kids prefer Six Flags or Splashtown.
