What a Bummer!

What the heck happened this weekend? One minute it was summer fun with bmx bike camp and the next it was first aid and a trip to the urgent care! Yes, on the last day of bike camp Mason took a spill and not only chewed up his face pretty good, but he broke his forearm in two places. He did his best to assure me the arm was just sprained and would be fine, but the instincts of a mom are pretty hard to fool. For all the talking he did of how it was fine, he sure wouldn't let me get near it and the way he was carrying himself and not using it at all told me something different. Mason has it in him to be an academy award winning actor, but the fact is, the drama only goes so far and when he is not truly hurt he will forget the acting to get back to bike riding, swimming and so on. This left hand issue was not so easily forgotten because I could tell it really was hurting him. A quick trip (Yes! We got really lucky) to the urgent care showed what I suspected; the radius is cracked all the way through and the ulna has a crack about half way through, needless to say, Mason will not be attending week two of bike camp. Now it appointment with an orthopedic doctor and a panoramic X-ray of his jaw to make sure that didn't get whacked out of line. I'm sure sorry he had this accident, but the fact remains that I would rather have him outside playing and living life than in the house in front of the television or his iPad. It's all good and he's all boy.

In other news, Dave made it home safely after 19 days away from home working. We celebrated Father's Day with lunch out on Saturday and then on Sunday, Mason made him biscuits and sausage gravy for breakfast. It was a really nice weekend in spite of the trip to the urgent care. Now it's back to work and more appointments for Mason. We are also packing to move on the first. I will send out our new address when we move for those of you who keep track of such things. I hope you have a dynamite week and make time to do something fun, it is summertime after all!
