July was a crazy month. I wanted to make the best of the next summer months since he will be in Delayed intensification Starting in September and his white blood cell count will be lower.
So we Dressed as buzz to go to the grocery store!
We wore half PJ's and half normal clothes to go take Cousin Jeff to the airport.
We played in Laundry Baskets!
We Celebrated the 4th of July in Style!
He enjoyed sitting on Uncle Shawn's lap watching the "big" fireworks.
He had to have ALL GREEN. For some reason he had to have everything green this day! it was crazy!
He LOVED the Farris Wheel.
We rode the Farris Wheel. 1st time for both boys, they loved it. Grandma and I not so much.
He rode a big slide and loved every minute of it.
The love the Mary-go-round.
The Grandma took us to BEAR WORLD! VACATION! All of us were sick of staying home so when my mom offered to take us to Bear World Yellowstone, I was more than thrilled. The boys didn't know what was going on. But soon learned they loved "Vacation" too!
Don't mind Carson picking his nose! :)
They loved the rides at Bear World.
We got to ride on a truck, that Carson called a Bus and see the bears up close, and feed them.
They sat up and clapped for the "treats" that we got to feed them.
There was a petting zoo that Carson loved. We used lots of hand sanitizer and washed our hands after! I had a little anxiety about him touching the animals, but he loves animals just like his dad.
He thought this mask was fun. But instead wanted to buy stuffed snakes for "brother" and him.
On our way home we stopped by a place called "soda springs". It was cool to learn about carbonated water that comes from the earth.
Carson loved to play in it. You can drink it. but it tastes nasty!
The it was back to reality... back to the hospital for an appointment. Carson blood counts were still great he was at 850! YAHOO!
We had to be at the hospital at 8AM. No time for breakfast, and they always have snacks so I wasn't worried, he picked chocolate pudding cheese and water.
Then Grandma had a great idea to go on a stay-cation in Park City. I needed to get the kids clothes for fall anyway, so off to Park City and the outlets we went for 2 nights!
We had a great time riding the Alpine slide. Carson loved riding the chair lift up... Blake on the other had is a total dare devil and tried to jump off while we were 100 feet up in the air! We got in trouble when we got to the top and told that if Blake couldn't sit down he wasn't allowed to ride again.
We came home to eat "Taco Amigo" Blake enjoyed his "fry sauce" a little too much! it was in his hair, all over his face, and the chair.
The back to reality sucks! I would love to vacation to the max while his counts are good. I know we will be stuck in the house for months especially since it will be cold and flu season. Carson is such a trooper. He has the routine down for hospital. He takes his "chemo pills" like a champ, and doesn't let being "sick" phase him! He is an amazing kid. Blake is a trooper as well he tugs along and just goes with the flow.
I didn't think we would be able to get back to a somewhat normal life. It has been nice. But I also know that we will be staying home more and more as the next phase of treatment starts! It was fun to vacation and enjoy life, and see him smile and love the adventures we went on. I wish Brant could have joined us, but he was unable to take off work.
