Mini-Golfing

On 8/12/09 we decided to go mini-golfing with the Neumann Family. As you may be able to tell it was a HOT day. The kids' cheeks are looking a little red in the pictures. This was one of our last activities to do before school started. The kids really enjoy mini-golfing. They had been begging to go to Adventure Golf, but they settled on Champion's Fun Center because we could go for free. This was our second time there and Madison did rather well considering she had a cast on her arm.

Broken Arm

July 29, 2009

After falling at Lost In fun and having an x-ray taken we headed to the Nebraska Orthopedic office. I really didn't think that Madi had broke her arm. Initially, the doctor wasn't even going to send us for x-rays. While talking with me the doctor kept feeling Madi's arm and Madison winced a little in one spot. That was enough to send us for the x-ray. We went home to wait it out overnight. Madison sat around and didn't use her arm much that night. We iced it, but it really wasn't swollen. In the morning I was very surprised to get the call saying that it was broken. Madison was very upset and didn't want to get a cast. We ended up waiting to see the doctor for almost an hour! By that time, Madi didn't care what they did to her arm, she just wanted to get out of there! She picked a purple cast and we were on our way. Ethan had to help her put her seatbelt on for a few days before she got the hang of things. I think he really liked helping her out. The last picture is the day she got the cast taken off. What a glorious day!!! I was ready for her to dress herself and ready for easier bath time!

Lost In Fun

July 28, 2009

The kids and I joined The Vande Griend's at Lost In fun. This is the day that Madison fell and broke her arm. The last time we went there with Jill and the kids Gracie tried doing a flip in a bouncy house and hurt her neck. My conclusion, we can go there, the Vande Griend's can go there, but we can't go together anymore! It was a crazy day after ending up at the Pediatrician's office and then off to get an x-ray. We never thought is was broken, but we were wrong.

Trego Splash Park

7/23/09 We had a MOPS playdate at the Trego Splash Park. We were only there for an hour, but the kids had a lot of fun. The best part is that it's FREE!! Madison ended up playing with a friend from swimming and Ethan tagged along with them.

Bubbles!!!

7/18/09 The kids had fun with bubble blowers, even though they broke after about 30 minutes. We had bubbles all over the place! Madi and Ethan were pretty excited to have Colin come over for the day. Candy was working and Erik and Nick were helping my dad move in to his apartment so it was me and the three kids. It was a great day!

Children's Museum

We went to the Lincoln Children's Museum on 7/21/09 with Christy, Katelyn and Cooper. The kids had been begging to go again, so away we went! I think we were there for about 3 hours and the kids still weren't thrilled about leaving. The funniest thing is that the kids get the biggest kick out of the elevator. Instead of a regular wall they put in glass so you can watch the elevator go up and down. I think they would spend half of their time watching the elevator if we let them!! It's so funny to see Ethan get so excited to see the elevator go by. I'm sure we'll be going back to the museum AT LEAST one more time before school starts.
