When our kids were small we began to talk about taking each of them on a trip just that kid and the two of us at some age.  Kooper turned 11 this fall and we decided 11 was going to be the year!  We took him for four days to NY and had the best time and got his heart even more!  Thankful we have 4 more kids to take on their 11 year old trip!
