The 3 of us recently went on a much needed family vacation to the beach for 10 days. It was GREAT! We stayed off the internet (yes- I refrained from using FaceBook for that long:)) and just relaxed. This was the first actual vacation since we've started therapies and received the new diagnosis of Joubert Syndrome. It was so nice not having to check the calendar daily and getting a "break" from therapies/appointments!
I have to start with posting the best video from our vacation. Our goal was to try to get Mackenzie to walk on the beach by herself. The waves, texture of the sand, the wind blowing, and the wide open area threw Mackenzie's balance WAY off. She wasn't even able to stand on her own. She enjoyed walking on the beach but had to hold onto our hands to do so- until the 10th and last day of our vacation. She spotted some seagulls, let go of BJ's hand, and took off on her own! :)
Here are a "few" pictures from our vacation:
I'm quite certain we will make it a point to have a family getaway at least once a year.:)
