Since I'm not able to leave Cole this year to join Darryl on one of his business trips he asked if he could take Kade with him to Florida. He was doing a short training and thought it would be the perfect trip for Kade to join him. It turned out that Darryl's parents were going to Florida for a conference the same week so they watched Kade while Darryl went to his meeting. That was such a great coincidence. We were worried how it would go over with Clint; he was disappointed he didn't get to go but we've reassured him that he and Darryl will go on a special trip after he turns 5 too. Darryl and Kade flew out Sunday. We didn't mention a word of the trip to Kade until they got in the car to go to the airport. If we ever tell Kade of something great he just asks if it's time for the event repeatedly every minute until the event. We're working on patience. Kade was loved flying in the "real jet." The hotel was one of his favorite things, so much that he even asked to go back to the hotel when they were at Disneyworld. He loved swimming in the pool and going down the cool slide. The first thing he said to me when I talked to him on the phone was, "I slept in a hotel!" What is it about kids and the novelty of hotels. I'm thinking the next family trip will just be to a nice local hotel. He really loved Disneyworld too. Darryl said he loved churros too. :) Here are a few(ha ha) pictures of their trip. Some of rides, some eating and waiting for the fireworks, some on the airplane, and some with Granny too. Kade's favorite ride at Disney was a race car ride. He said it went REALLY fast! Darryl said there was a night they were ordering dinner and Kade said he wanted to order all by himself. The waitress came and he said, "I want a cheese pizza, please." She asked what size and he said, "A kid size." He was such a grown-up independent little boy. Kade also got this 1st Time badge-- he considers it a prized possession.
The hotel pool was one of Kade's favorite things on the trip so I pulled a couple pictures off their website.
