We vacation about once a year in Naples, Florida. And without exception, we meet another family who has a child with Down syndrome. (We often plan meet ups, but I'm talking about chance meetings.)
Easter was no exception. We happened to sit near a family of six girls and one boy, and the boy has DS. Ellie was of course delighted.
Other highlights have included the beach, the
Children's Museum of Naples, and feeding giraffes at the
zoo. We went to the museum for sensory night, so there were very few children, extra sensory friendly experiences, and and additional staff on hand. Ellie loved it. At the zoo, we also met the Easter Bunny and a giant chick. Ellie was thrilled, and I was grateful. Caroline was unfazed.

| All Ellie wanted for her birthday was to feed the giraffes salad in Florida. |

They are sooooo stinking adorable! It's such a pleasure watching them grow.
