To Janelle

Janelle,
I hope you like this blog I did for you.  I hope you will look at the pictures and read the stories of our memories of Your Wish.  You earned this.

Love,
Mommy

Goodbye Ms. Merry and Mayor Clayton

We checked out of GKTW and received a farewell package which included a World Passport.  Our family will receive complimentary admission for the next year to various amusement parks in the country.  The package also included a printed picture of our family with Mickey Mouse, a CD of the pictures taken of us at GKTW and a voucher for Janelle to order a poster of her favorite picture.  We left the office and walked to Katie's Kitchen.  We ate lunch outside.  Then we walked to Amberville.  The three of us rode the train and then played a final round of golf at Marc's Dino-Putt Miniature Golf Course.  Then we left GKTW and drove to the airport.

Matthew's Boundless Playground

We left the korral and walked to the playground called Matthew's Boundless Playground.  I sat on the swings while Janelle played.  She found a few friends to play with.

Janelle enjoyed her last moments at GKTW.  We left the playground and walked back to our villa to get our luggage.  

Riding a Horse at Keaton's Korral

We left the Gingerbread House after eating part 2 of our breakfast and walked behind it to Keaton's Korral.  Volunteers were there helping kids ride a horse.   

Ice Cream for Breakfast

Ice cream for breakfast is a popular idea at GKTW.  The Ice Cream Palace was open early enough for breakfast until after Janelle's bed time.  All three of us ate ice cream for breakfast on our last morning at GKTW.  

Janelle picked a chocolate ice cream cone with sprinkles on top.

We followed it with some protein at the Gingerbread House.

Ol' Elmer

Ol' Elmer is a snoring tree at GKTW.  We walked by him whenever we left our villa on the way to the Castle of Miracles, the Gingerbread House, Amberville and others.  He usually became the topic of our conversation each time we saw him. 

Presenting the Pirates and Princesses

The pirates and princesses lined up in front of the Serendipity Stage. 

Each of the princesses were presented on stage and given a princess wand.  The pirates were given a sword.

Janelle took the role of being presented as a princess very seriously.

All of the pirates and princesses piled up on the stage.

The party was over and it was time for Janelle to get ready for bed.
