MAKE MEMORIES

[Guest guest]

Patty,

That's great. Go and be a kid yourself and have a ball. A friend of mine

has two cf boys and was offered 'make-a wish' trip to disneyland. She

actually refused it as she didnt want to admit that her children were sick

enough to get something given to them like this. I say go, make memories to

last a lifetime. Thats what we do. Each year when our tax return comes in

we book a week in another state and fly there. This year were of the

Melbourne, last year we went to Queensland, which is were the kids again

wanted to go but were working our way around the country. We do this to let

the kids enjoy themselves and to make memories for all of us.

Charity made my YEAR!
