Leavin' on a Jet Plane

In just a few short days our family will be packing up and heading to the sunny Florida coast for some much-needed rest, relaxation and SUN!

Last year was little man's first trip to the beach. He was completely terrified of the ocean at first, but before we knew it he was digging in the sand, running in and out of the water and chasing the "ducks" (aka seagulls) from one end of the beach to the other.

Hey, we're from Kansas. Not much need to the learn about seagulls here.

Ever since little man has frequently talked about the beach. We recently informed him that we would be going back to beach in just a few short days.

Well, a few short days for us ... an eternity for him.

"I wanna go to the beach," little man said as I bundled him up in his coat this weekend.

"Soon, we're going soon," I said.

Little man just sat there, his big blue eyes gazing out into the cold gray outside.

"I wanna see the ducks," little man finally mumbled. "Ducks at the beach."

Soon little man ... soon.
