Well, what a wonderful summer it has been for team Awesome 🙂 As you may have noticed, I have been slowing down the work pace to concentrate enjoying precious family time over this summer break however, we have still been busy 🙂
Firstly, I hope that you have all had a wonderful summer, in whatever form it’s taken. As parent carers there is no ” rest time” but, I sincerely hope that you feel positive and even just a little refreshed .
We were lucky enough to travel to Norway , this time on the Disney Dream. You will probably know that as a family we ADORE Disney cruiselines. They are inclusive, fully adapted to meet any disability or neurological difference and we haven’t had a bad experience yet 🙂 Still, we don’t take for grated how fortunate we are to have a holiday such as this and so use it to continue spreading our message of Autism advocacy and acceptance.
This year we were lucky enough to visit Nordfjordied, Mekjarvik, Rotterdam and Skoldjen and at each port we spoke to locals about Archie and his Autism. We also met a lot of fellow parent carers on board that we are now proud to have made a connection with, some all the way from Florida 🙂
Over the next few weeks I will be creating YouTube videos on our recent adventure, cabin tours, food guides etc but for now , here are some pics of us doing our thing….”on tour” 🙂
Pulling a 737 for the Dorset Children’s foundation.
As soon as we arrived home it was business as usual, although not as usual as we’d planned . 🤣Myself and my oldest son were invited to pull at 737 to help raise money for the DCF. We of course JUMPED at the chance, I mean….how cool is that?!?!
On bank holiday Monday we arrived at Bournemouth airport dressed in bright colours, went through all the safety stuff and then did it… WE ACTUALLY PULLED A PLANE FOR 50 METERS!!!!!! Super cool 🙂 Thankyou to all of our sponsors ( so far we have raised almost £200) and to the DCF for their continued support in the work that Arch and I are proud to do 🙂 Also , massive thanks to Jason Shrubb for these epic pics 🙂
