Tampa Vacation

We spent this past week on vacation in Tampa, Florida. Aaron has always loved the ocean, and living in Rio only grew his love for the water; therefore almost every vacation we go on is to the beach. We dodged Hurricane Gustav, and had fabulous weather the whole time we were there. Aaron was glad the hurricane was nearby because it made the waves in the gulf nice and big. This was Levi's first vacation, and he loved the ocean! We put his feet in and then he sat with me with his feet in the water. When I took him out of the water he cried! Aaron loves the ocean, so he is happy Levi has a love for the water too. On Tuesday we went to Fort De Soto Park and Beach. We had a good time touring the fort and enjoying the beach until I twisted my knee. I was in the ocean and turned my back to a wave while I was walking out. It was stronger than I thought and it knocked me down twisting my knee. My knee swelled to the size of a grapefruit and that put a damper on the rest of our beach plans. On Wednesday we decided to go to the Tampa Zoo, since I couldn't walk or go to the beach. Aaron rented a wheelchair and pushed me around the whole zoo all while attending to Levi. It was quite an adventure to say the least.

I'm glad hurting your knee didn't end your vacation. I hope it will heal completly and swiftly. I miss my big little man. Be sure to tell him gramma sends her love all the way from Alaska. (Gramps, Too) It has been great here so far no major fights yet. But that Moo can be one fiesty woman.
