Iden
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.
The Elliott boys tried to visit the Toy Story ride at Disney Studios today. Here’s what happened.
Here’s the high-resolution version.
Iden participates in the annual St. Luke’s preschool bike race. Got nitrox?
Who can find the most Easter Eggs? Iden thinks he has the edge.
Iden takes off his sunglasses for a moment to offer them to his photographer.
Iden takes a whiff of the flowers at Lukas Nursery.
Iden likes his birthday cake, but there’s not enough icing on his slice. Icing is an important source of sugar for hyperactive three-year-olds.
Iden turned three today. (OK, actually he turns three next week, but we’re celebrating early because Daddy has to go on a trip.)
Just what I wanted — Hotwheels! And they’re all mine.
Iden and his friend Carly hang out after the St. Luke’s Christmas show.
The kids pose for their Christmas photos. Kind of.
Grandpa and Iden do their best rendition of “Deck the Halls.” Hard to get into the holiday spirit when it’s 80 degrees outside!
Iden enjoys a stroll on the beach at the Don CeSar in St. Petersburg Beach, Fla. Even though it’s December, it feels a lot like July here.
