Family time in Florida

We went to Florida over Easter. It was the first time Kaio met his great grandparents who live near Tampa. Grandpa, grandma and Aunt Carrie also came down from Colorado to see us! We had a great time. Besides the early morning wake ups (there is a 5 hour time difference so Kaio was ready to play at 2am, which on the second day onwards was 5:30) it was so amazing to see Kaio be happy running around, playing with everyone and adoring all the attention.
One of the days we adventured to the beach. He absolutely loved it specially because this was followed by sitting on pepe's Bernie lap for a nice milkshake!
Kaio had a blast with pepe Bernie (and the entire family). There was a very special connection between them and reinforces it is a great middle name we picked for Kaio.
Kaio had his first Easter hunt, organized by grandma. Since it was hot in Florida we used plastic eggs. (the boiled eggs we painted, which was fun doing, were cracked and ended up being a nice egg salad!) He got the 'egg hunting' concept very easily and enjoyed running around collecting the eggs (with a little help from us)
Kaio did really well on the plane (both ways) and was very interested in the planes, machinery and staff at the airports.
