What was really nice too is that the average height siblings are also forming great friendships, like Sam and Ashleigh who has a little brother with achondroplasia, just like Anaïs.
Anaïs with Aiden (Ashleigh's brother):
OK...here is Anaïs and Peyton. They are the same age and both have achondroplasia. They are just ADORABLE together...look at them!
I am SO excited for Anaïs, we bought her a custom made tricycle. Kids with achondroplasia have really short legs and arms so it's pretty much impossible for them to ride regular tricycles. They had a vendor at the convention who makes tricycles...what an amazing thing for our kids. When you have a "different" child, the things that seem so simple to everyone else can be impossible, like riding a tricycle at school with their friends. I am very happy she will be able to experience these moments that every child deserves to experience. Here she is getting measured:
Ashleigh and Sam getting ready for the 4th of July party:
The 4th of July party was great! They had so many fun things for the kids: hair coloring, face painting, crafts, games, balloons, petting zoo and so much more.
Of course, we couldn't go to Anaheim without going to Disneyland! We spent a day there and we all had a great time...didn't take very many pictures there though...
Space Mountain was definitely Sam's favorite ride!
They loved standing on the air conditioning vent:
Great convention! Can't wait for the next one!

Great pictures Alex! What a wonderful week we all had in Anaheim! I just wish that we'd gotten the chance to hang out more.
Great pictures!! Wish we could have gone too!!!
Oh my sweet Anais! You are so beautiful! Looks like you guys had a great time and that tricycle looks so cool! When Lyla gets bigger I will definitely need one of those! Love to you all from Long Island! Xoxo
So happy both our kids had a great time and are making great friendships! Sorry to hear about your grandmother's passing, she sounded like she was a beautiful person.
What great pictures. I just love the smiles all over the girls' faces. What's amazing is how much the kids have grown and changed since the NY convention. It looked like an amazing time. The 4th party looked like a great time. Glad you enjoyed Disneyland too! Maybe we'll see everyone in Dallas next year! Just gorgeous pictures!
Adorable pictures!! What a great week! You can tell that both Sam and Anais had a blast!
Wish we could have gone, but I love seeing all of the fun pictures from those that were there! Hopefully, we'll get to meet you in person at one of the future Nationals (not sure if we'll make it to Dallas, but we'll definitely be in DC)!
Those tricycles look so awesome - we are hoping to order one for Simon for Christmas this year. I can just imagine the smile on Anais' face when she gets hers!
tes filles sont adorable!!! un petit coucou en passant :) bisous christelle, brianna, fletcher, kamron de Vegas
