Summer Adventure

In August, less than three months after we first met Anellah. We brought her on a trip out of the country!! We’d been planning a trip to Echo Bay, Ontario Canada for quite awhile.  And as you can see it’s quite a trek to get there (multiple flights followed by a long drive). We tried to find someone to provide respite care as we’d been promised we would be able to when becoming foster parents. Nobody was able to take on her medical needs, so the county had the decision to send her with us or re-admit her to the hospital.  We stayed at my grandparent’s remote cabin without electricity or running water. It was a trip of a lifetime for all of us, thankfully she had her insulin pump by then (nevermind that it stopped working halfway through the trip and my uncle had to drive across the border to pick up a new one that was over-nighted to a UPS store!) A picture is worth a thousand words so that’s all I will say about the trip, here are photos!!
