Sorry for the delay, but we've been having a BLAST

We've been pretty slammed over the past few days, so I'm just getting a chance to post. Monday at Mattel was AMAZING to say the least. We jumped in the limo for the ride over to Mattel and just like the first time, Cam was all excited to be riding in such style. Once we arrived and signed in, we were met by Ms. Deborah from Mattel and she directed us back through the Design Center to a huge group of folks from Mattel who were waiting for us to arrive. We'll put more details once we get home, but they had SO much for Cam and Connor to play with including toys which were still in development, a "test area" where we all played with some really fast rechargeable cars, and then the coolest part for the boys...RC cars out in the parking lot. They made an RC model of the car Cam designed and let him test drive it...which was cool and scary at the same time as Cam pretty much only knows two ways to drive...stop or FULL SPEED. It was only a matter of minutes before he was crashing it causing both LeAnn and I to cringe as we could just see him destroying his "dream car" within a few minutes. They all were laughing at his crashes and kept telling us not to worry about it, but my heart was dropping with every crash. They probably spent close to an hour playing with many different RC cars and then we had the privilege to ride in a life size Hot Wheel GTO and he opened it up for us which both boys absolutely loved. The point of the ride was to take the boys to see the other Hot Wheels Show Cars which were also just as amazing.

When we arrived back, they had a HUGE lunch for us which included ALL of Cam's favorites...chicken strips/nuggets, Mac and cheese, hamburgers, Peppermint Patties, and the best...ICE CREAM! After lunch, they presented both boys with so many gifts, I think they were overwhelmed, but they also had two special presents for Cam. Another RC model based on his drawing in a custom designed package as well as a display of all the different Vipers they've ever made all painted to match Cam's design. Another special presentation they allowed both boys to take part in was for each of them to pick a car from a group of pictures and that car will actually go into production! How cool is that?!?!?!?!

We spent yesterday at Universal Studios Hollywood compliments of Make A Wish as well and had a great time there in the different shows as well as a few of the rides. We're walking out the door right now to head down to San Diego to see the Zoo and then hit LegoLand tomorrow, so our adventures are still going strong. I'll try to post again as soon as possible.

I'll throw a copule pictures up of the Mattel visit until we can get home and then we'll post more.
