A POWER RANGER FAN AND CHOCOLATE LOVER

…Henry is from Lincoln and is diagnosed with leukemia. He loves chocolate bars, without the nuts, of course! He also enjoys playing hockey and soccer when he is feeling well, and spends much time playing with his 11-year-old brother, Hans, and 3-year-old sister, Betsy.

Before deciding upon Disney World, Henry also pondered visiting Lego Land or seeing Thomas the Tank Engine, other favorites of his. However, the Power Rangers won him over, and he and his family enjoyed a week at the Florida theme parks and meeting many of the characters you find only at Disney World, including the Power Rangers!

Henry’s mom said, “Every day was action packed, and everything they did was a FAVORITE of Henry’s, EXCEPT for the TOWER OF TERROR!” Henry said, “That was a little too scary.”

On day three of their trip, Betsy heard mom say the word, vacation, to Hans. Betsy asked her mom if this was a vacation? “Yes, Betsy, this is a vacation,” replied her mom. Betsy replied with a very satisfied look on her face, “I LOVE vacations; vacations are GREAT!”
