We are finally part of an organization called Hope Kids. Hope kids his for families who have children with life threatening or chronic illness. We have heard about it for a while but I just never signed up, just lazy I guess. They put together activities for the kids and their families that you can sign up for. Today was our first event which was a private showing of Toy Story 3. It was nice to be around other families who are going through similar things, who trek around the same equipment and don't have to explain to people what it is when they look at you weird. The fun part about the event was that Lauren is a Hope Kid now too so we were able to attend the event together. Since we have a wheelchair we were there early to ensure a wheelchair spot, so we weren't able to sit next to them but I was able to snap their pictures. Riley really enjoyed the movie. He was laughing and talking, but mostly I think it's because everyone else was laughing and talking. He loves to be social with other kids and was way excited. I can't wait to sign up for more events.
