You & Me is Awesome

A few weeks before Colt's 4th  birthday he was cuddling with Daddy on the bed and looked up at him and said, " You & me is awesome Dad."

 Like so many of their childhood moments it wasn't captured on camera but I know forever imprinted on Daddy's heart.  And as I do with everything, I thought, " How I could make it a painting?"

 Could there be  5 words that better describe who Colt is and what a four year old life is all about- his Daddy?

Yes ... Colt celebrated his 4th Birthday over 2 months ago and I just got around to hanging his gift above his bed!

Jekyll Island

We left at 4am , drove 6 hours and arrived JUST on time to board  the ferry for Cumberland Island. Only to realize our family of five and all our packed gear for out 1st official camping trip was...not...even...going to  fit on that boat.  I watched them board the ferry with one backpack per person. No sleeping bags or pillows and coats in sight. Where were their coolers or even tents for that matter? Seriously my boys were not going to live off granola an entire weekend, hence the very large cooler with wheels that took up the entire back of our van. Did I mention there were 5 of us,including 4 BOYS camping for an entire weekend? They can do without running water, electricity or heat but will not miss a snack practically every hour.

Change of plans...  

While we ended up on a different island and different beach I have a feeling we created just as many great  memories for our 1st family camping trip either way.
