Our Florida Trip


We went to Florida for a long weekend this past weekend and had a very good time. Joe, Wyatt and I drove down with my parents on Thursday night and arrived on Friday morning. Wyatt did great in the car and slept almost the whole time. We visited the Homosassa Wildlife Center with Grandma and Grandpa and Uncle Jeff where we saw manatee, alligators, a hippo, wolves, birds, foxes, and many other animals.

Every animal there including the alligators and hippo was Day Day or Daisy. I'm still not sure if Day Day is dog or Daisy because he does actually say Daisy every now and then. Wyatt loved the hippo. We went out on a pontoon boat on Saturday and spent the day on the Homosassa River and even boated to the Gulf where Wyatt got to see the Gulf of Mexico for the first time.

We saw several manatee, and I even swam with one of them. If you look closely, you can see their shadow in the water.

We went to a very nice dinner with Granddaddy and Great Uncle Jim.
We ended the trip with a cold visit to a very windy beach.

It was a short trip, but nice to spend time with family. Wyatt is continuing to take several steps a day but has not taken off on his own yet. He loves to show how big he is when you ask How big is Wyatt and he loves to play patty cake. His first birthday is in one week, I still can't believe it. We started whole milk this weekend because he will not drink formula or a bottle when he is around me, and he seems to like milk better. We are down to mostly just nursing in the morning and planning to wean completely very soon. We had fun but are glad to be back home. We missed our Hunter and Daisy. Bye for now.
