A Good Idea - VOTE

I know many of us are thinking about who to vote for with the election tomorrow. Will you vote for one more thing? Give Kids the World is in the running to receive $250,000 from Pepsi. They've been in 15th place most days, so they need more votes to move up. You can vote each day with each e-mail address you register. This place was such a blessing to us last year - truly magical; ultimately amazing. I would love for them to have continued funds to keep it nice for future families to enjoy. Vote HERE.

Here's a glimpse of what it's like there:

Awesome things about Give Kids the World

• SUPER family friendly - really, they thought about everything.
• Villas include fridges & washer and dryer
• Theme park characters visit GKTW, so kids who aren't up to leaving the Village can still get their pictures with them
• The Gingerbread house served daily meals - volunteers would help my kids carry their trays to the table which were made of Peppermints
• Wagons were available to move little ones around the grounds (Jayson LOVED this)
• Every Thursday is Christmas in the Village - there's a parade, it snows, and Santa brings gift
• Castle of Miracles had a carousel with the cutest grandparent-like volunteers who would let you ride again and again without getting off.
• Jacob decorated his star and it is attached to the ceiling of the Castle of Miracles
• Ice Cream Palace is opened for all three meals - yes, we did have ice cream for breakfast more than once
• Playground is a life-sized Candyland game board.
• Amberville has miniature golf, little boats to drive in the pond, arcade, and a train ride.
