Day 3 in FL

Today was an all about Becca day! Today was the medal award ceremony. Mary Lou Rettin was the master of ceremonies. Gosh it was amazing to see all these kids! There are a handful of premature babies. The magic number for all of us was 24 weeks, Becca was the smallest birth weight. There a few with cancer, one that was in a plane crash (her father passed away in the crash, he was driving), children in car accidents.... So many interesting stories I can not even begin to tell them all!

The awards ceremony was amazing to be a part of! CMN staff, reps. (like Scott) from the hospitals, sponsors and their families and the Champion families were all in that room. I can not even guesstimate the amount of people. Gary says at least more then 17 and no more then 500...LOL That must be a little scary to walk out and see all those people and not see Mommy and Daddy in the crowd! She did so good, she chatted a sec with Mrs America and then got her medal and waved to the crowd! I have never been prouder of Becca!

Becca also had her "spa" treatment at Bibbity Bobbity Boutique. Every little girls should experience this at least once! She shocked me, for 3 weeks now she told me she wanted to be Snow White, we got there today and she chose Sleeping Beauty. It was so cool! One Fairy God Mother worked on her nails and makeup and another one worked on her Hair. She chose the Diva look with pink hair. She got to chose what eye shadow she wanted, what lip gloss, what hair do, what color hair, and what barrettes She wanted. After she was all dolled.... oops.... princessed up She had a photo shoot! The pics came out great! So cool! When we got home and washed her hair the first thing she asked was when she could go to the spa again and what princess she could be tomorrow! LOL I have to say I was kind of hoping for Jasmine, that costume was pretty awesome!

We met long time friends of Gary's parents today for dinner. We had dinner at the Swan resort, where we met Timon and Raffiki from Lion King. Becca was so happy and Because it was an early dinner, she got a lot of one on one time with them! Adam was not to happy to see ither one of them, but at the end of dinner he did manage to give Timon a high 5!

This has been an incredible day! Thanks to Walmart, Sams, Children's Merical Network, and Ct Children's Medical Center for making this trip so special for us and making a memory I know Becca will never forget. She has learned so much from all the chamions that she has met!

PS For all of you that were conserned that Becca would wander away, she has Becca doing a great job with listening ears and holding my or Gary's hand!

More tomorrow!
