To offer to take DN on holiday?

My DS is very good friends with my cousins DS -they are only two months apart in age and see each other most weeks ( we live about an hour from each other). They play well together and we are all very fond of him.

We nomally go to Florida at Christmas and New Year but have booked to do something different next Christmas so will be going to Florida in the summer instead -because this trip falls during both boys school holidays and is not over Christmas we thought it would be a nice idea to invite my cousins DS to go with us. Our DS would LOVE having his buddy with him and we would love it too.

I should also mention that there is no way my cousin or her husband would ever be able to make this trip (Cousin's DH is disabled and his condition means he does't travel well also money is an issue)

Would it be terribly insensitive of us to offer to take DN with us?
I would not want to offend them in any way -they are lovely people.
We would pay for everything so no expense for them ( I know this may be a worry but I am sure I could handle sensitively).
Also would you let your child go on holiday for three weeks with someone else?

I really want to ask ( I haven't said anything to DS as he wouldn't be able to keep it to himself) but don't want to do the wrong thing.

WWYD???

I was really nervous about posting a topic on here and am really grateful that everyone has been so nice!!

I'm fairly new to mumsnet (a friend told me about it) and whilst I'm really enjoying it some of the threads can get a bit scary!! :)
