Corbin can only stand on his broken leg for so long and then he needs to sit down and get his leg up to prevent swelling. We never would have been able to do a week long vacation at Disneyland, or anywhere that a lot of walking is required. But, he has been such a good sport about his injury, we wanted to give him a special day trip to Seattle and see the Star Wars costume exhibit at the EMP museum. We managed to squeeze in a couple other activities but after an early dinner, we had to call it quits on the day trip. Eight weeks with a cast and he still has considerable pain in his leg. But here is what we managed to do…
