Last weekend was ESPN the weekend at Disney world in Orlando Florida. While we didn’t have a chance to attend this year, last year Ethan and I had a blast in Disney world for this event. One of the highlights for us is that we knew Drew Brees (quarterback of the New Orleans Saints) was going to be there. We hoped that maybe we could get a chance to get an autograph for Ethan or something along those lines. What we ended up with was so much more though. We arrived at the main stage for the weekends events on Thursday really just to get a schedule of events for the weekend. But as soon as we got there and a few people saw Ethan with his Drew Brees jersey on we were told that Drew was going to be filming on NFL live about an hour later. The camera man came to us and told us to hang out because he would get some good shots of Ethan since drew would be on the show. Here’s where things started to happen, I called all of my family back home and told them to turn on the TV and start recording. And sure enough, not even 2 hours into our big weekend at Disney World, there we were live on ESPN for the world to see. (I was going to put the video on here but I don’t think I can post it with youtube because of copyright stuff with ESPN). I don’t think Ethan truly grasped how awesome this was until he got home and heard from his friends at school that they saw him on TV though. But the best part was still yet to come. Because we were there on Thursday and nothing was really scheduled till the weekend, there weren’t too many people around and we were able to sneak backstage and get his jersey autographed from Drew Brees and I even got a great picture of them as well.

I eventually brought an 8×10 of this picture to the Saints training camp last summer and got Brees to autograph it as well. Now Ethan has this to hold onto for the rest of his life. Anyways, just a little rambling about how awesome it is to be able to spend this kind of quality time with my kids. I love my home business!
