Wish Trip Day 3, Animal Kingdom and Wish Star

 Every Wish Child is given a Star to decorate and give to the Star Fairy who then puts it on the ceiling of the Castle of Miracles while the child is sleeping.  Channing was very excited to put his star up so Sunday morning after church we went to the Castle of Miracles and let Channing decorate his star. 
Channing was really nice and let Jakob and Ema add a decoration onto his star since they have been affected by Channing's Leukemia as well. 

 Once it is all finished, the Wish Child gets to put it in the special star chest where the fairy gets it and puts it in it's special place on the ceiling of the Castle of Miracles. 

Channing's star on the ceiling of the Castle, along side of so many thousands of children who have life-threatening illnesses. 
Channing's is in the 8 Constellation Dream, on the top right.


 After putting up Channing's star, we went to the Ice Cream Palace where you can get ice cream all day long!  As much as you want, even for breakfast!! 
Channing usually opted for a bowl of sprinkles, or whip cream.  The other kiddos got a different ice cream concoction every time.

After our morning at GKTW we headed out to Animal Kingdom!  

We met A LOT of characters.  The kids enjoyed seeing them, and for the most part gave them hugs.  Channing wore a special button that identified him as a wish child, so we went to the exit lines and saw all the characters without waiting in line. 




 The kids enjoyed the Safari, which is always one of my favorite rides!



We went on the River Raft ride and got stuck on it in the rain, which wasn't all bad because we were wet anyways :)  Also, Jakob and Channing were brave enough to go on Expedition Everest, and Channing even went twice!  Brittany, Kindt and the boys went the first time, then I asked which boy wanted to go with me and Channing said he would go but he would close his eyes the whole time and I would have to hold him tight.  I wish we had the picture they take because it was hilarious, I am screaming my head off and have Channing in what looks like a head lock while he is covering his eyes.  One of the favorites was the Finding Nemo show which was amazing, and the kids LOVED it.
