Drew's Wish

Drew's mom writes:

I just wanted to drop you a quick note this morning to let you know what an absolutely wonderful time Drew had this past week in Florida!

I can’t begin to recount all the amazing moments on the trip, but needless to say, I’ve never seen him so happy! The itinerary was absolutely incredible providing him with opportunities to do so many cool things like: see 47 alligators in the Everglades; hold a baby alligator hatchling; drive the airboat; get a kiss on the nose from Twister, the dolphin; play with baby orangutans, etc.

So many people we met went out-of-their-way to do especially kind things like the local Indians who gave him a real alligator head as a souvenir. Needless to say, I think he’s got show-and-tell at school covered for the rest of the year!
