Caden’s Secret Contest Winnings: Rad Reptiles!

Bold reptile shirt and woven explorer shorts from le•top Rad Reptiles Collection. Click on photo to see more from this fun collection.

Our third Secret Contest winner (for having the most hits as a Daily Darling) was Marc and Kristin C.‘s son, Caden. This little boy so entertained us as a Daily Darling that we made him our mascot for our “le•top Takes: Out of the Mouths of Babes” series. And we didn’t really send him slimy reptiles as his prize, but this fun outfit from our Rad Reptiles collection (le•top Spring 09). This collection is in stores now, so use our store locator to find a le•top retailer near you. Caden lives in Boston, so we’ll probably have to wait for the weather to warm up there, but we can’t wait to see Caden in this outfit!

Remember that we have Secret Contests going on all the time. Because they’re secret, you never know you’re in a contest until we announce the winners! You might win for any reason, but it’s always because you spend time with us here at le•top blog, and you let us know you’re out there by commenting, submitting photos, sharing stories, recipes, funny quotes from your kids or grandkids…so please keep shareing with us…you might be the next winner!

le•top Grandparent Love: Grandsons Meet Snow!

Wade hitches a ride with dad at first. Otto looks like he's ready to make a snowball!

I admit it — I’m showing off photos of my grandchildren again! Their parents took the boys to “see” snow for the first time! They just drove up past Baxter somewhere, along Highway 80 – it was snowing so hard they closed the road. They took a little sled and trudged around for a bit, and then came back (at their age, it doesn’t take much to entertain them!). Otto was really excited to tell me he threw a snowball at his parents!

For those of you who are just done with snow because you have it all the time, this whole practice must seem very odd. That’s OK. My son-in-law’s family and friends back around Boston think it’s weird to actually TRY to get to snow (never mind getting in a car and drive to it)…the things we do for our kids!

Wade looks a little dazed -- helped along by his pony jacket being snapped wrong!
