"Cation"

For several weeks now Eli has been telling people, "brothers going to school and I going cation". He kept telling people at church one Sunday and several were asking if we had a vacation planned. It took us a couple of times listening before we realized he was excited to go on Visitation with Daddy. Ron has on several occasions taken Ronnie or Nathaniel to the nursing home with him while he does visitation. He has tried to make this a fun daddy time and Eli picked up on that. So about a month ago Ron promised he would take Eli when the boys went to school.

Eli was so excited this morning to find out today was the day. He got dressed and was ready to go long before Ron.

When he returned, Eli was constant jabber. He had so much fun and had to tell me everything about it. Ron was praising him because he had been such a big boy. He just kept hugging me and telling me everything he had done. I think part of the fun came from a stop at Tim Horton's on the way home! They had a great time together.
