Children's Wish Foundation

Anniek got granted a wish from the Children's Wish Foundation when she was younger, but we decided to wait until she was more stable and old enough to remember the wish trip.  Anniek changed her mind a few times about what the wish would be.  For a while it was a horse, a trip, a few interesting things that were not possible for her to choose for a wish like a sibling, having a Dad (step-dad) that I am married to and is around.  There were also a few destinations mentioned for trips like China, Africa, Florida, Paris and Holland. 
In the end we decided to go on a trip...by plane.  So we got our passports and everything and it really didn't feel real for the longest time.  It really didn't sink in that we were actually going until about a week before the trip and we were getting packed.
We arrived at the airport early as it is an international flight and we have to get through customs and everything.  Then started the long wait sitting around for our flight to be called...we even got to see the plane before ours load and take off as it was still day light off.

Anniek was very good at waiting for our plane to arrive and to be called.

We even got to be the first ones "checked in" at the gate and the first ones on the plane!!!
Anniek's awesome god-mother came with us.
