Apollo Beach in Tampa. The powerplant effluent warms the water which attracts manatees (see the blobs in the water in the bottom left of the left-most picture). Before going to this beach we spent the morning at the Lowry Park Zoo in Tampa. It was a great, small zoo. Cooper had a lot of fun.
laying at Cocoa Beach, Florida. Cooper loved playing in the sand which is a little unusual for him since he does not typically like to be messy. He was covered head-to-toe.
Yes, those are real! Michelle asked Cooper if he wanted to hold the alligator and snake. After saying no Michelle told him that she would take a picture and show it to Daddy and dad would be surprised and say "What?!!!" Cooper started squirming to get out of his stroller.
When Michelle came back to the hotel to show me the picture, Cooper was so excited and giggled and giggled when I saw the shot and said "What?!?!". I told him he was very brave and he responded very seriously "fraid" (afraid)
