Summer Fun in ID and CA

We visited our Idaho Family for a week:

yes, curtis knows his hair is ridiculous

Dezh's special Papa

cousins

she could actually make sound come out of this trumpet!

She loved the trumpet.  I think it was a major sensory thing

cousins!

Dezh was very excited about the tiger (its fake)

Then we spent a week in CA and saw some of the cousins there.  The other family of CA cousins were sick and stayed home cause they are awesome and know that Dezh would end up with a seizure if she got sick with the flu they had.  Love you guys.  CA pics:

2 of her 3 favorite boys

her fav part of the zoo was the puddle she splashed in 

maybe this was her fav part.  She did NOT want to leave this  face circle thing

watching a movie with the cousins

she really wanted to play the violin. we wouldn't let her.
(you would understand if you saw what she did to her own violin)

we got to visit grandma o.  dezh nearly destroyed her house. jk

grandparents babysat so we could go out for a double date.
My mom's face says it all :)  .  it must not have been too easy!

Great trip to ID and CA.  We had a good time.  Thank you families for having us and for making special accommodations for us and how we have to live with stupid dravet syndrome.  BTW, she had about 3 seizures on this trip all due to the heat.  I think being tired and ready for evening meds played a part in the first.  We bought a cooling vest from coolsport.  This arrived a few days into our ID visit.  This really helped.  I certainly recommend it to all DSers!
