Our 4th

I wish I had a great Independence Day photo--but our day never really came to that. We were celebrating my 27th, too..but no birthday picture either. After being at my grandma's just a little while for a family party, Reid hurt his arm in the pool. We waited it out about an hour then decided to take him to the emergency room. The poor guy. Our trip there wasn't too long at all..a little over an hour total..and it was cool seeing Reid's bones and hanging out with him, talking about doctors and bones and stuff. He was SO brave and didnt cry when the doctors manipulated his arm, even though I could tell he wanted to. He seemed so grown up. He suffered just a strain on his wrist, nothing serious. This was our first emergency visit yet...not bad!
We did go back to grandmas for a late dinner, then off to Uncle Joe's to watch fireworks.
Here's Reid on our way home. (He ended up wearing the splint until sunday am..now he's back to normal--being crazy)

I did get a quick shot of Vara and Uncle Joe shucking the corn. This little girl LOVES the pool..she's very brave on the diving board, too. I have to keep a close eye on her!

Glad Reid's OK. We had to make an emergency room visit with Ava back when she was an infant. They can be scary.

Happy Birthday Ginger! Sorry I didn't call, I did think of you and meant to call but by the time I wanted to we were driving to fireworks and it was like 11:30 your time.
