vacationing in mexico this past november
{someday i will post photos of the trip...really}
after lots of leche, jugo and agua,
c and i decided to let them try their first soda - an orange fanta.
it was one of the few sodas i was allowed to drink as a kid
since it didn't have caffeine {it's a mormon thing} *grin*
finn and scout had never had soda - of any kind
{we're pretty strict with certain things: bedtime and soda are two}.
this was a BIG deal for them, and for c and i too.
finn was hesitant when we offered him one.
his eyes grew big with concern and he asked
"are you sure because soda is not good for me".
{i love our lil' rule-following son}
we confirmed that it wasn't, but one bottle wouldn't kill him.
scout on the other hand, didn't even question it.
he drank every drop and said i ♥ fanta!
from that moment on, he was a fan.
i think he asked for one every day while we were on vacation.
on the last day of our vacation there, it was unusually warm and
we let him have one more. he was so happy.
a few weeks ago while shopping at vons,
i came across single glass bottles of fanta,
and couldn't resist picking one up for scoutie and finn to share.
finn passed on my offer, but scoutie was happy to partake.
we will always remember fanta being the boys' first soda.
