The annual charity golf tournament for Noah (Kai's middle name is Noah after him) was a fantastic excuse to visit Al & Cindy in Florida and have them meet Kai. They are perfect hosts and even went so far as to accommodate us with a pack n play for Kai. Plus, who doesn't love putting the kid to bed and then relaxing poolside (monitor in hand)?
Aaaaaaaand, we're new at this. Next time we travel we'll take pictures of something other than Kai. Until then, enjoy this picture of Cindy and Kai specifically designed to make Aunt Gayle jealous. But then, we also were in charge of her husband and son for the weekend, so who really was jealous is up for debate.
We got to meet LINCOLN! Alli and Paul had us over for dinner in their home in Fort Myers at the end of our trip. We threw some food together and rushed through a quick evening baby-style. He's adorable and they are fantabulous parents. Now, if I could only finagle a master bath for myself and assign Jon the "other bathroom," my life might be so sweet! Thanks, Al!
At the end of the trip we took two nights to be a family on vacation. Kai was good natured and flexible, as usual. He was a bit indifferent about the ocean, but he did like trying to eat insects out of the sand.
For future reference, I'm drawing up a formal sign up sheet for grown-up time. The mid-afternoon swap for free time was awesome. I posted to Facebook from the tiki bar and Jon drank Miller Lite (I know...) in the cabana we rented on the beach, while the other hung with Kai.
Oh, and apparently my child is a saint; no one around us on either flight had any trouble with him. I'm pretty sure the boob gets some credit on this one!
ECFE has a potluck picnic for all of the kids from all of the classes in a park in St. Paul. It was madness. With bubbles. And noodle salad. What wasn't expected was the ridiculously creative hippy foods that our snotty ECFE parents classmates made. I mean, maybe they are kinda cool after all...
