AREN
It’s Aren Elliott’s sixth birthday, and his brother Iden wants to send him into outer space. What better place to try than at Kennedy Space Center? Here’s their adventure.
Four theme parks. Three kids. Two adults. And one seemingly impossible assignment: to visit every Disney World resort on the same day.
Aren made a new friend this weekend — Captain Blackbeard. He was in town to promote the Gaylord Treasure Hunt.
The Elliott boys tried to visit the Toy Story ride at Disney Studios today. Here’s what happened.
Here’s the high-resolution version.
Aren waits for his mother to finish riding Everest at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. It took a loooooong time.
Aren’s Hotwheels car goes into the second turn at the annual St. Luke’s 500 race.
Aren inspects the flowers at Lukas Nursery. It’s planting season in Florida. Time to pretty up the front yard.
Aren is little more than a blur as he tries to tag Dad inside the bounce house at his brother’s third birthday party. Good thing these balls are made of foam.
The kids pose for their Christmas photos. Kind of.
It’s that time of year! Aren, Erysse and Kari are hanging up the Christmas lights while Daddy makes the eggnog. But not before taking a picture or two.
Aren got an early Christmas present — a skateboard. That was the easy part. Staying on it … now there’s the challenge!
Aren rode his bike for the first time without training wheels today. No worries. We’re only a few miles from a hospital.
Aren and Iden pretend to be astronauts at KSC’s rocket garden. They were here for the World Space Expo.
Aren and Iden hang out with the Great Pumpkin at SeaWorld. They finished a record second trick-or-treat circuit today. Nice job, gents!
