Drew didn't have trouble adjusting to the time change, he just didn't do it! :) He would wake up at 4:30 and be ready for bed at 5:30 in the evening! After a couple days of trying to get him to go back to sleep at 4:30 in the morning we decided to just get up and start our day! At home we never let him sleep with us so he would wake up and see us in the room with him and he would be wide awake. The first day we tried to pretend we were still sleeping and he came up to us and said, "Mommy kiss" and then kissed me, then "daddy kiss" and kissed Sam. He followed that with "faaaamily hug" and we just couldn't refuse him affection at that point! The trip was great and we came home tired but full of memories that were worth any frustrating plane ride.
I think his favorite thing was the swimming! Sam wore him out in the pool and Drew wore Sam out as well. We have to be very cautious with Drew around water because he has no fear of the water. Here are a few videos of him in the water!
He could have been a carry on item!
Big boy on the plane! He loved having his own drink and tray!
This kid can make friends any where. These two little girls were sitting in front of him and by the end of the trip they were playing and trying to share food!
This is the first morning that we were there. Drew was up early so we decided to take a walk on the beach!
This is on a bus tour.
Happy boy... he is trying to pet a bunny in this cage!
The next few pictures are a series of pictures of Drew rolling down the beach. He had a great time playing in the sand!

Sherry's friend Barbara flew out to meet us for the trip. We really enjoyed having her with us and Drew is still asking about her! Thanks Barbara for joining us!
Two things that were most important for Sam.......#1- He was driving Drew around because Drew fell asleep in his car seat and Sam found a KU bar! I guess it just goes to show there are jayhawk fans everywhere!
#2- The car he saw in the parking lot and had to have his picture taken with.
