OK- just reading this, and I'm thinking tranquilizers. How in the world did you do it?
:shock: Well, tranquilizers would've been a good idea, looking back... We just kind of grinned and bore it, honestly. Had 3 other kids looking forward to a week at the beach, hard to let a little thing like a sibling in a body cast cancel a trip, right?

We just had to strap him to everything, not unlike using tie-downs to secure something! Strapped him into a carseat for the 12-hour drive, strapped him into a stroller for walks around SoWal, took turns hanging out inside with him while the rest of the crew went to the beach.
Ugh, come to think of it, I'm having nasty flashbacks...

Have to say, he attracted a lot of attention! That's how we came to spend so much time at the Cowgirl's place; it was within walking distance, and their takeout was easy on the nights we didn't want to brave restaurants.
