FLORIDA ROADTRIP

Collin and I went on a roadtrip to Florida this week. Tony had to go out of town to Denver (or as Collin calls it Denber), so we packed up the car and headed down to Florida. We stopped by Nanny & Papa's in Ocala and spent the night and then we headed down to my friend Terri's house in Boca. We both had SO much fun. Terri's son Brandon is a year older than Collin and the two of them always have the best time when we get together. They were refering to each other as "my buddy" during our visit.

One afternoon we went for a walk with the kids. Brandon is riding his bike and Collin is chasing after him. We see a woman and little girl approaching us. The woman must of been Musilm or something because she was wearing the garb with her face and body wrapped, etc. After they pass us, Collin turns to me and says "Hey Mom look, it's a shepherd." I couldn't stop laughing.

Collin watches a cartoon show called "Dragon Tales" and during the begining part of the show, the 2 main characters say "I wish I wish with all my heart; to fly with dragons in a land of art." So, the first morning we were there, Collin woke up and he didn't know I was awake. He started saying "I wish I wish with all my heart, to go home to daddy and the kitties." It was SO cute and funny. He missed his daddy SO SO much. But of course when it was time to leave he told me that he wasn't going to come home, that he was going to live at Brandon's. So I had to tell him that mommy and daddy would be so sad if he didn't come home with me. So he thinks about it for a minute, and then he told me that he would come home. He told Brandon that he had to go back to Nanny and Papa's house to eat chocolate chip cookies and to drive their golf cart.
