The day finally got here, and Quinn got her new chair.

There is so much that goes into figuring out what works best.

What she needs to have on it to be successful.

The paperwork involved is crazy.

Then insurance is interesting to say the least.

Then getting different parts from different places and getting it all put together.

These amazing people worked on her chair for over 7 hours just to fine tune things.

There are many many more hours involved, and we are thankful.

Denali had to get in there to see what was going on.

Isaiah had to check things out too, but he stays back a bit.

We had lots of books to keep us busy that day as well.

Oh Quinn was so excited!

We also had lots of time for cuddles.

Her first time in the van with her new chair. Everyone still fits!

Then an unbirthday celebration!

Next up was the 4th of July.

We had star hair.

Lots of confetti.

Celebrating with family.

Denali said this is her witch pose, she is coming to life. Thanks to a smoke bomb.

Oh I love these smiles!

A wonderful few days.

We have to go back to do more fine tuning on her chair, but we are so thankful and loving what is going on.

The last post was about what happened during camp.

This is the end of camp celebration.

The staff talk about what happened, and awards are given out.

I had to work, so thankfully Chrissy filled in and watched the kids get their certificates.

The kids with their certificates.

Going home. We always say it is fun to go away for fun adventures, but just as fun to come home!

The girls napped and watched movies, Isaiah went to bed and slept almost 15 hours straight with a break to eat. He took a number of naps over the weekend. Quinn did too. Oh the dog missed them so much!

Isaiah got the grand slam award. I have tried and tried to get him to play baseball, and he had no interest, and now he is ready to play. He loved it.

Denali was the s'more master.

Denali also was the trailblazer of the week.

Quinn was the Horse Whisperer.

What a wonderful experience! A great week for all of us!

Again thanks to Chrissy for the pictures and for picking up the kids and supporting them during their award ceremony!

Denali and Quinn said you need to come over and have a Descendants 2 party soon, with a sleep over and popcorn and cupcakes. They loved rewatching Descendants with you friday afternoon.

One camp down, many yet to go. It is so good having all the kids back home. They loved camp, but it wore them out, especially Isaiah and Quinn. Those two have been napping most of the weekend.

After seeing what they have been up to, I understand.

Quinn was going to Easter Seals week 4, while Isaiah and Denali went to Trailblazers. Basically Isaiah and Denali are great leaders and understand kids are kids.
