Rough Start to Vacation

Well, vacation started out pretty good. David left early Monday morning pulling the golf cart and me, Cooper and Libby got ourselves all packed and struck out around 10:00. We arrived on the Island in the afternoon. Cooper swam in the pool and went on a ride with Daddy.

Tuesday Daddy had to work in Valdosta so he left really early. We got up and went to the pool at the King & Prince. Libby took a nap by the pool and Cooper swam and begged to go to the hot tub every 5 mintues. When Lib had enough we went back to the condo where Cooper swam some more. Later in the afternoon we went to the beach for a walk. So far so good, right?


So then we decide to go to the pier. Should we walk or drive? Walk. Cooper gets his scooter and Libby strolls. On the way we stop at a playground. Cooper had played there with Daddy on Monday and they had a really cool zipline. He showed me how good he could do it. On about the 30 time though he slipped. He fell on his arm and got hurt really bad. Now what do we do? Cooper is hurt, we're half a mile from the condo, and Daddy is on his way back. We ended up staying at the playground until he got there and picked us up. Cooper still wouldn't move his arm but he wasn't crying and said it felt better. Well, that all changed in the middle of the night. He woke up crying really hard. David took him to the ER and guess what - broken arm!

How pitiful is that?

Oh No!!! That stinks! I bet Coop thinks the whole cast thing is pretty cool right now, but just wait till he is ready to go swimming. It's going to be a long summer, Cooper!

He didn't even get a cool cast to sign, just a splint! He is getting a lot of attention though and we all know Cooper loves attention!

Cooper, Nannie thinks you need alot of attention... If you were in Tennessee we would let the whole world know...Cooper has a broken arm. We might even put it in the newspaper. Nannie & PawPaw love you and Libby Leigh.al
