Ouch!

 We had so much fun visiting my family. Stayed up way too late talking almost every night, and enjoyed lots of great laughs.  Heath & Houston had so much fun playing with Sterling & Dallin.  They sure look up to all their wonderful Uncles. What lucky boys!

The last day in Springfield we decided to go to white water with some free passes Mum & Dad had.

 I think Houston's favorite part was all the snacks Grandma had brought along.

Shortly after we arrived Heath took off running and fell and skinned his knee up.  It was bleeding pretty badly so we set out to find a bandaid.  That was our first trip to the first aid station.

 After swimming for a few hours, the pre two year old was so ready for a nap and let everyone around him know it.  I can't remember what this was about, but this was a tantrum about something small.  Poor tired little boy.

 Nap time with Grandpa.

 After Houston fell asleep we left him with Grandpa and went to ride the waterslides with Grandma Sterling and Dallin. 

We didn't take the camera on all the big water slides, but lets just say it took a little bribery to get Heath to stop riding once we had all had our share.  He rode one particular ride 12 times!  He loved it!
We'll have to go back again before summer's over.

 

 When it was time to go I had asked Heath to come with me. He said NO! and turned and ran the other way... oops. He slipped and fell to the concrete onto his chin. One more trip to the first aid station.  They put a few sterile strips onto it and said He probably needed stitches. 

When we left White Water I thought Heath would be fine without stitches.  As the drive home went along though, he had bled through the strips and it didn't look like the bleeding would be ending any time soon.  We got to a pediatric urgent care about 30 minutes before they closed.  They were so great, the nurses were singing Heath songs as they were taking his vitals. Brought in some crayons and colouring page, and were so great with him.  The Dr used Dermabond to seal his split.  It's awesome! It took about 2 minutes and was painless.  We were in and out in 20 minutes! It was awesome!

 While we were waiting for our ride home I pushed Heath around in a small wheelchair they had.  We saw a bunny rabbit. It put a smile back on his face.

 Just before we left Heath got to pick something out  of their treasure box.  He chose a little green lizard.  He carried it with him everywhere for about 3 days, even to bed. 


His chin bruised up pretty good, and was a little swollen but he's doing much better now! 
















 And he has a new friend.
