Florida Trip

We spent the past week visiting Lee's family in Fort Myers, Florida - Always nice to get away from the routine of life and spend time with them....

Unfortunately, we only got one day on the beach due to Florida's unseasonably cold weather.... Grrrr..... But Aaron loved the "whoah bo" - He came out chattering every five minutes but always wanted to go back for more.

The best thing for me personally going away on vacation is getting help keeping Aaron entertained. He had PLENTY of people around to play and interact with: Uncle Chad and his guitar,

Songs and diet coke from Gi Gi,

Aunt Heidi and Uncle Spencer,

And working in the garage with Papa Tim.

Didn't get a lot of pics - Just spent a lot of time together and being low maintenance. A few funny stories from our time.....

* Plane rides are always an adventure with a toddler boy; at the beginning of one flight, the stewardess finished her speech about the safety features and when she concluded, Aaron yelled out a resounding, "AMEN!"

* Speaking of plane rides, during one moment in which his wiggles became too much, Aaron chucked a magazine up to the ceiling, which in turn, landed on an open tray spilling the man's drink behind us. Sigh.... Actually, this really wasn't that funny to me, but everyone I tell it to seems to crack up.

* My mother and father in law are heavy drinkers - of diet coke that is. =) Aaron is a little beggar and always manages to manipulate a few sips when someone opens one up. When someone asked him if he liked going to Gi Gi's house he said, "Yes! Diet Coke!"

* We have used the expression "Sometimes that happens" several times with Aaron to explain accidents of various sorts, i.e. spilling a drink, hitting your head, etc. When on a walk, we passed a nice little pile of doggy poo and Aaron pointed it out with a "Ew Mama, poo poo!" This was then followed by a shrug and "Happens Mama." Oh does it..... =)
