RIBFEST Saturday with Brian's friends in St Pete. 4 years ago Mikey was in the car accident that changed us all. You can see he is doing great these days.

Kayaking

We went kayaking yesterday up in Spring Hill. Water so clear it looks like we were floating in the air. 5 miles down through pristine Florida spring fed river. Perfect day, hot but 72 degrees water temperature year round--we even saw a manatee!

Mikey went fishing with his Dad, Brian and Morgan on the favorite local lake, Lake Gibson. Here is one of the fish he caught. Its hot but its July in Florida. Life is good!

Today is the three year anniversary of Mikey's accident, or rather his REBIRTH. MIKEY 2.2 is new and improved. We are so blessed and grateful.

We were so happy to go to Trauma Awareness Day at LRMC. Two and a half years ago we nearly lost Mikey, and today he told his story, thanked his saviors, and listened to other inspiring stories of the many miracles that happen routinely. We are so blessed!! Brad got our contact information and hopes to do a public service announcement piece featuring none other than Mikey about the dangers of drinking and driving.

We went to Englewood today for Mikey's belated birthday trip. We chose Englewood because of the beauty and the fact that one can find lots of shark's teeth (hopefully not sharks though). We brought a cooler of sodas, some chips, three fishing rods, some bait, towels sunscreen. It was a beautiful day. Happy birthday Mikey the Miracle!! 22 years old May 12th. WE LOVE YOU!!!
