Disney: Hug Tour


We met many characters along the way. Hugs were abundant.

 
A Guinness World Record could have been set with this hug. And if you are wondering who this is...so am I.

Logan was concerned that Santa was here and not making toys in the North Pole. Santa told Logan that he was in a supervisory role and had elves to do the work. Logan still thought he was cutting it too close to Christmas.
His disappoval was evident.


Notice Ryan's hand around Mickey's waist.

Ben learned quickly that the characters hands were great to chew on.



Ben only had eyes for Jessie. Poor Woody - he was intent on giving Ben a big hug.

Who is the happiest in this photo?

In times of budget cuts and loss of resources, Amazing Race is a creative way for the staff to raise money for the children who may need financial assistance attending camp. I will be posting photos from 2011 camp. I am only posting photos that do not show faces of the children, but you will get the idea about how much they enjoy the activities. You don't have to see their smiles, you just have to feel them. The staff have sent me their thoughts on how they feel about camp and I will be posting those as well.

The client lives in the family’s home and the family receives payment in return for housing, feeding and caring for the client.  Ben’s AFL was unusual: A couple with extensive caregiving experience wanted to run a three-bed group home but needed to apply for the license through the state. They were willing to take Ben as the first resident in a house, separate from the one they lived in. The plan, according to the couple, was to get approval for the group home within a couple of months.  We ordered Ben a double bed, headboard, 54-inch television, new sheets, towels and blankets.
