4 Kids, 3 Dogs, and 2 Cats


After the race, we headed to Eric and Kristen's to stay the night. They have great property out in the country and the kids were so excited to play together. Of course, the three racers could barely walk, so we just vegged out and watched the kids play on the swingset.


Eric finally mustered up the strength to grill up some steak (which were mighty tasty). We fed the kids first and took them upstairs to play while we enjoyed some "adult time". YEAH RIGHT!!! Within minutes, we heard a scream from upstairs which I quickly recognized as Tate. It wasn't a normal, "He won't share his toys with me" cry, so I immediately jumped up and ran to the bottom of the stairs. There stood Tate at the top with blood coming out of his mouth. Now you can only imagine, my thoughts at this point, "Where are the teeth?" I envisioned us all crawling around on the floor looking for remnants of the tooth that used to have residence in the hole in his mouth. Thank the Lord, he did not lose any teeth in this accident, but he did bite through a nice chunk on each side of his tongue. No permanent damage done, but apparently a superman jump from the bed results in face first injury. OH BOYS! Gotta love 'em!!!



Despite, the minor mouth injury (he's fine now...just a swollen tongue!!), we had a great time visiting. The kids had a great time playing with each other and the pets. The adults didn't mind their time on the back porch in the rocking chairs either.
