Day 2 - Give Kids the World Village

The next morning (Sunday) we called and they still had not located out bags so we decided to spend the day at the Village. The kids had a blast. We walked around the village. It was so cute. The kids played in the arcade room, rode the carousel several times, rode the train, played on the CandyLand playground, and they had ice cream. Madison was able to place her star on the ceiling in the Castle of Miracles with the thousands of other Make a Wish visitors, all the kids made special pillows, and the kids got airbrushed tattoos. All the volunteers were so nice. We had our first “gift giving” knock on the door, everyday a volunteer would bring some kind of gift for all the kids. Our wish granters had warned us to bring an extra duffle bag for the stuff the kids would get, they were not kidding. That night the kids played in the “worlds largest” Candyland game the kids were the game pieces and would draw a card and run the game board, then Madison joined in the block party. She danced the night away. Austin and Zac played in the Candyland playground. Our luggage was located and delivered to the village during the day, and we had to get up early to meet Disney characters that were coming to the village so after ordering pizza for dinner, we all headed off to bed.
