Jon had to work late so Ellie, Jack, and I went. We were the only ones there! We had the entire place to ourselves. It was beyond fun. I left with an overflowing heart. Jack's meltdowns get pretty overwhelming and tiring for him and us, so it was nice to hear laughter and see smiles the entire night. He was on cloud 28. I wish I could convey his excitement to you. They let me get in too since no one was there. I quickly realized how old I am after going down the slide a few times, but it was so worth it. I loved making Ellie laugh because she gets a deep belly laugh when it's really funny. I heard that belly laugh several times. :)
After we left, it was past bedtime, but we stopped at Sonic for a drink and went home for a bubble bath. Sometimes you just have to stop and smell the roses. I've had a rough week with Autism and many other things, but at the end of the day- we all have difficult things going on and we just have to live in the present and enjoy the now. Both kids went to bed tired but happy. They will remember this moment as a happy one and so will I.
I wish I had better pictures but I played as much as they did so there was only one :) Ellie is tackling Jack and he is loving it!
