"Visiting Disney's Animal Kingdom Pictures" : brought to you by, S.M.A.A.R.T.Mom

Thank You ASGO.org for making it possible for Dustin to visit Disney's Animal Kingdom. What great timing too; Dustin's 15th Birthday is two days after this event. He thinks we are going because of his birthday though. It's been a couple of years since we went to "A.K." but this year Dustin seemed much more excited about it. Could have something to do with the VHS tape he's been watching "The Animal Kingdom Tour Video" he found at Goodwill. (LOL) What ever the reason I didn't care. There are animals there and regardless of his fears, here he would have to confront them, within reason of course:) We rode as many rides as we could, saw Pooh, Eyore (not sure I spelled that right), & Tigger, and even rode a roller coaster that went into this HUGE Mountain. I did post a picture of it below for you to see. What a ride that was!  My Long Time and Very Dear Friend  accompanied Boo Bear and I this year. I'm so glad she decided to come with us. What  great memories we made together today. Thanks Phyllis for hanging in there I know it was terribly hot . You're So AWESOME & such a Wonderful Friend. We Love You and hope you make more events in the future......maybe next time it will be cooler :)

The Bugs 3D Show...A bit loud.

A place to cool off from the hot day.

"First Time Swimming in a River Autism Video & Pictures" : brought to you by, S.M.A.A.R.T.Mom

What a fantastic weekend this has been! If being at the Farm  hasn't done wonders for the soul, we found out about THE RIVER and it's right down the road from our Farm. Dustin's first time going to a river. HE LOVED IT!!! But of course Seeing is believing:) He was so patient and wonderful listening to what I asked. This was a very good experience and SOOOO worth trying.

"Gathering @ The Autism High-Heel Hike Pictures" :S.M.A.A.R.T. Mom Shares her Pictures from Jules Burt's High Heel Hike for Autism Awareness

Hello  S.M.A.A.R.T.Moms!

Thank You sooooo much for joining my Team  Dawn, Sharon, Celeste, and Angel. I really appreciate your support for autism. You are such good friends:) I'm sure  Dustin is very Proud to have you each in his life. For my Moms that wanted to be there, but couldn't....Be sure you get on my email list so that you will know when and where the next Autism Walk, Autism Run,or High Heel Hike for Autism I'll be Attending.
          I  have attended quite a few Autism Walks and Runs, but never a High Heel Hike until recently. I have always enjoyed these
events, but I have to admit it wasn't until I found out from Donna of A.S.G.O. about Jules Burt's High Heel Hike for Autism Awareness. I instantly thought to myself " It's like someone was thinking of ME. I Love & Live in my Heels!" So of course anyone who really knows me understands when I say this:) I had to join and start my S.M.A.A.R.T. Mom TEAM. It was so great to be able to walk in my heels showing my support for autism and my son Dustin. It was a different experience, but very memorable. I really encourage all of you S.M.A.A.R.T.Moms to come to the next High Heel Hike. It's a great opportunity to meet other Fabulous Moms  who also have a loved one with autism.  It was a chance to have Fun, Laugh,Walk a Red Carpet and Talk to Moms who ARE walking in you shoes. This was a chance to Talk about Autism....  Here you are NOT Alone. Everyone here understands how living with Autism can be. Belonging is a comforting feeling isn'tit? So please try to join S.M.AA.R.T. Mom next year after all  Moms like us can never have too many friends.
Thanks for a wonderful experience Jules, it was a Pleasure meeting you;) You are an Angel sent to us from Heaven:) I'll see you next year!
Hope to see more of you ladies next time.......Enjoy my pictures in the mean time.
Take Care! Angela
