Canobie Lake Park
My Mom wanted to do something nice for us and “sponsored” a trip to Canobie Lake Park. My Mom said we could go anywhere but I figured doing a “test run” at a smaller amusement park would be good practice before our big trip to Disney in (LESS THAN!) 2 weeks. It went really well, better than I expected and Rachel kept it together emotionally and didn’t complain of headaches on the way home. She did mention her head hurting a few times while we were at the park but quickly went on to other things. We did get her checked in to Guest Services at the Park and got a wrist band that allowed her to jump ANY line. It worked pretty well, John went with her a few times on a few big kid rides and the little ones alternated with her and some rides they all went on together without waiting.
Here are the pictures, I put them in my new Picasa Gallery. Click on my little London Jack to see the pictures. I would have taken more but I left my camera behind, these are phone pics…

TeamRachel aka mrskatvon is both a website to gain public awareness of Juvenile Batten Disease (which affects my oldest daughter) as well as a journal to remember the events in our lives.
Rachel was diagnosed with Batten Disease in July 2009 and while we knew something was "not right" we had no idea that such a nightmarish disease existed. There are dozens of nasty, orphan disease which affect people both very young and old.
Aside from dealing with the changes of Batten Disease in my daughter, Rachel, I have tasked myself with making life memorable for all of my children to make sure that (at least) 3 of them grow up to be as well adjusted and happy as possible.
Glad you had a good time. Disney here comes the VT’s.
More lobster for Rachel today? She loves it. Hugs Mum XX
That’s a great park! I like how the vegetation was all still left there
Looks like you all had a fabulous time! xoxoxox
I’m glad you all had a great time! I’m excited to see that Rachel’s wish was granted. GKTW is such a special place! Shoot me an e-mail if you have any specific question about it. I did see they opened a little “day spa” in the castle recently. I didn’t tell Morgan, my girly-girl would be jealous that she missed that by a couple months!
