Dad & Isaac go to Florida

I feel honored to be the first guest blogger on 'DeMaster Stories.' Hopefully I won't disappoint.

I had a meeting in Florida this past week not too far from my parents' new home in Ft. Myers, FL. Isaac seemed like the perfect age to come along and we extended the trip to six days. We had a GREAT time traveling and spending time with Grandpa and Grandma.

Isaac was enthralled with watching the airplanes at the airport, playing with all the gadgets in the airplane (lights, tray table, window, seat belt, etc.), and especially the moving sidewalks in the Detroit airport. I was the most impressed with his great attitude and childhood enthusiasm for everything. He never complained even when we were sitting on the tarmac in Ft. Myers for an hour and half waiting to take off. Or when we got to Detroit and had no flights to Grand Rapids the rest of the day. (We rented a car and drove to GR.)

Isaac had a lot of fun with G-pa and G-ma going the beach, bird-watching, and swimming at the pool. Unfortunately I didn't get any good shots of Isaac with G-pa and G-ma since they were the ones taking all the pictures. He loved the fact that he could wear shorts outside in the winter.

We collected lots of seashells

Since it's my post, I can't resist mentioning the Bears/Packers game on Sunday. Unfortunately, I was at work and had to miss it. But my family came through for me and the Packers were well represented at my In-laws' house during the game. They are all Bears fans, so it was a tough game to watch. I recorded the game and managed to make it all day without hearing the score. At least until I was saying goodnight to Caleb and he couldn't conceal his laughter. Secrets are so hard to keep at that age.
