Wish Trip!!!

<>
Today is the day! We woke up early and started out on our exciting journey. I pretty much felt like i was going to throw up...the anticipation! We were headed to Layton Ut to meet Josh Turner then on to Park City to go on a hot air balloon ride.
Before checking into the hotel we stopped by the Aerospace museum. There is so much history there. It was amazing!!




Look how big that plane is!!! If you look really hard dad and I are standing there by the tire. 
This prayer was written in the womens section of the muesem...do we really understand and appreciate all of the things these people did for us to be where we are today? Do we truly understand their sacrifice?
Yes I know...JOSH TURNER was satying in our hotel!!! AHHHHH so close but so far away. The wonderful gentleman in the tye-dye shirt was stocking the bus with food. Please Please Please show me how to get that job! Needless to say mom and I have never walked around a hotel more times or been so giddy in our lives...well im sure mom has but I sure as heck havent!
We all went to Chillis for dinner before the concert. I've never been so excited in my life. The waitress was such a nice lady she actually gave us two free desserts..and yes they we delicious!!
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
This is the love of my life...Josh Turner! :) He is side hugging me AAHHH
Look how close we are! We had the greatest seats and just so everyone is clear he is even more amazing in person than on his CD's
His violin player is awesome so I took a bunch of pictures of him!
After the show we were able to go backstage with another wish family and hang out with Josh and his wife Jennifer. The Harris family was amazing! Devin has spent most of his life in the Primary Childrens Hospital he has battled with brain tumors and bone cancer, yet i have never met anyone who is so excited about life or who has such a great attitude towards all he does. Just because he has set backs that doesnt mean it stops him. He charges forward and conquers all that life has in store for him. He is an inspiration to us all! I feel so blessed to have met him and his family!
This is Jennifer, Josh's wife. She is pregnant with thier third child but she still preforms as the piano player and back up vocals at every concert. Her parents travel with them and take care of the other two kids during shows. I have never met two people so down to earth and kind as they were. Jennifer is awesome! Also just as a side note...Josh hugged me...yeah no big deal. 
I know I just got done saying how awesome everyone is and I really should try to be more like them but in this situation I just couldnt resist! I saw this man at our hotel in Park City, it was 6 in the morning and I saw 6'5 saggy shorts backward fanny-pack and long socks with sandals. I couldnt help but stiffle a giggle and take a picture. Sorry...
Prettiest house ever!!
I really should be a photographer!
This is my dream home! When I picture raising kids, having sunday afternoon bbq's with family and having a place to ride a horse everyday...this is most definatly what I imagine!
So Cute!
This obviously wasnt ours because i'm still on the ground,but it was pretty awesome!
Oops...sorry mom!
This was the crew! Logan the one in the hat was our piolet. He was hilarious. The ride was more than I could have ever dreamed of!
I took this while we were driving...so cool! It seems as though photography really should be my career path! HAHA
This beautiful man iced the cake on a perfect trip. I, yet again, could not resist a sneak picture. Mom, Dad and I had a blast on this trip and it could not have been made possible if not for Wishing Star. So, Thank you!!

  2. Wow, what a great experience and adventure! I've always wanted to go on a hot air-balloon ride. *jealous*

    I love all the pictures, you do have a knack for great shots. :-) It was fun seeing all that you and your parents did. What a blessing.
