| Caleb and Dad, piloting a race car around the track in Tomorrowland. Dad drove the first time, Caleb the second. | Nice picture of us at the Castle. Sorry, again, tilt your head to the left! There you go, that's it. | Caleb and Dad wave to the characters on the floats as the parade passes by! Not sure who we were waving at, but ALL the characters took a close look at Caleb and interacted with him. See his button? That's a "Give Kids the World" ID button identifying him as a wish child. I think that's why. They were great! |

| Caleb waves at Minnie Mouse as she passes by on her float. As I said, the characters almost universally looked at and acknowledged Caleb. She saw him! | And here is Minnie, making eye contact with Caleb and blowing him a kiss. And do you know what? See the next picture ... | Caleb blew her a kiss right back! Here's the tail end of the kiss. What happened next made Dad come to tears. Minnie, seeing what Caleb did, just pulled her hands to her chest, inclined her head, and I bet melted inside that costume. The interaction between the two was awesome. Too bad there's no picture; big sister did a great job getting these two! But that image is in my heart forever ... |

Here, Dad introduces Caleb to the princess. | Here, Caleb and Cinderella sit together on the nice char in her living room. She was wonderful with Caleb, and he hugged and kissed all over her. We were afraid he would never let go!!! This was Caleb's wish! To meet Cinderella, face-to-face. Here, you see what we came here to do. | Caleb and Cinderella, again, in her castle. There is awesome video footage - if David can figure out how to get it on the web site! |
