For Laura the factory tour ride was awesome as well, she did not have to get out of her wheelchair to go on the ride. The had little cars that were accessable, so nice to see. She rode thru the ride with a s ile on her face. When it was over we got our candy bar tickets, they gave us a time to arrive so we went to grab some lunch.
Laura and Daddy worked together to make her candy bar, she choose to put almonds, cookie bits and pretzels, she topped it with sprinkles. This was all done on a computer, she had to touch the screen to make the selections, she did a very nice job. After that she got to watch the machine make her candy bar, it rode down the belt and stopped at the stations the added ingrdients, then went thru the liquid chocolate, she loved watching every bit of it. Once the candy bar was done, she had to design her own cover using the computer again. Laura was interested thru the whole process and very excited to get her candy bar when it was done. The hardest part was getting her to just have a little piece of it. Either way I feel guilty, she should not eat to much at once because she is diabetic. But only allowing her a few bites makes you feel bad as well. The question with her life is always, quality or quanity, which one is best. I am often unsure of the correct answer! Can you make that decision? It sucks saying no all the time, don't get me wrong she gets more than she should but I would just like her to be like any other child and be able to say yes more than no.
Today we are just going to hang out at the campground together. Nothing to do here except be together for one last day with no stress. tom and I both thought of going home a day early but Laura does not want to. She wants to stay here alone with the two of us, just be together. She is smarter than we realize sometimes. Laura knows that if we go home suddenly something will need to be done and she will be stuck waiting for us to do it. Life gets in the way more than we realize. Little things like Aunt Jo needs cat food, the sump pump isn't working, laundry, shoveling, rakeing, mowing, it really doesn't matter what it is just something we need to do that takes us away from her.
So today we are going to make pizza for lunch, play a game, cook some dinner and have a fire, just so Laura is happy! Yeah for her, she spoke up and told us what she wanted! I love her and her Daddy bunches and bunches. Blessed we are just to have each other, someday the work part will be over or at least decreased and I can't wait! Enough is enough! So this will be the last post about vacation, today is for Laura,tommorow will be the drive home and Monday morning the alarm goes off at 5am and we hit the decks running again! It was fun!
