OUR FIRST TRIP
Our trip to Woburn Safary Park was our first trip with Miracles to Believe in. I was very nervous as I had never travelled alone with OUR SON age 6. I didn't sleep very well night before our trip worrying about how I would manage alone. Once we got on the coach I felt quite supported, even before I talked to anyone - people understood us, accept us. I felt people accepted, understood OUR SONS'odd behaviour and tantrums'. I remember OUR SON ran away from me and one of the parents told me which direction he went. I felt relieved knowing people looked out for each other.
We went to Twin Lakes in April and our son had a wonderful time playing with the 'guns'. He spent most of the day playing in the soft play area. The noise didn't bother him to my surprise. He had a wonderful time! Best of all I went alone with MY SON and felt more relaxed on this trip. MY SON keeps saying he wants to go to Twin Lake. I may even brave it and take him on my own during summer holiday.
From a happy parent
Just to let you know, that I took our DAUGHTER, 9 yrs,severe autism and sld, to your outing to Twin Lakes for the February half term break. I was a bit hesitant, and with a friend, decided we would take her for something to do during the school break.
Although she was only able to cope with 2 1/2 hours (and wore ear defenders), Angela absolutely loved the 3 smaller rides in the building (can't remember the name) that housed the little train,the spinning teacups, and the floating barrels! She smiled and really was happy on each ride(and went on several times). She enjoyed some chips for lunch in the noisy food area (ear defenders really helped) before her anxiety started to show,then it was time to go home.We were home by 130pm that day.
I was so pleased,and, since her 9th birthday was coming up on saturday, my husband and I decided to take her there for the most part of the morning and early afternoon as her own special bday treat! Of all her birthdays, I would say this was the first time we actually did something SHE enjoyed, and it was special for her! Most birthdays are just family gatherings,so this was just special for HER.
So thank you very much for organising this event, it was a "trial run" for HER and our family, one which turned out for the best.
Many thanks,
