Florida Trip: Part One

Our family vacation this year consisted of lots of driving all over the state of Florida. Anderson was asked to be the ring bearer in Chad's wedding (one of Brandon's good friends from college.) The wedding was in Naples, FL. We drove to Gainesville to stay with a Bryan and Alyssa who are in their second year of residency, whom we haven't seen in two years. It was nice to catch up and break up our drive a little. On Friday, we headed to Naples, caught about an hour on the beach and then had to do the whole rehersal/rehersal dinner thing. On Saturday, we swam a little in the morning and hung around the hotel until it was time for the wedding. Anderson was SOOOOO tired by 2:30 when we left the hotel that he fell asleep on the way to the church.. He was not happy when we had to wake him up and so not in the mood to walk down the asile.
This is a picture of him in the hotel (pre-nap) showing off his suit. He didn't have his bowtie yet, but still looked very handsome.

Being "cheesy" in his Big Boy Suit Anderson was not really in the mood to walk down the asile, so I had to bribe him with something so he would do it. We agreed on a Blue Icee if he did it! I stood in the back of the church, with Grayson in the stroller (not happy) to get Anderson to walk down. He started and didn't like the runner they had rolled down so he was a little reluctant. He turned around and walked back to me, so I reminded him about the Icee. He then turned around, put the ring pillow over his face, and walked down the aisle. He didn't see Brandon down on the front pew whom he was supposed to go to so he turned back and ran all the way back down the asile to me.. It was really cute. What more can you expect from a 3 1/2 year old. Everyone thought it was adorable.
He got his Icee! It wasn't blue (he still had to take pictures)
