Nursemaids elbow, New Park and Luck Peak!

Well it's been an eventful week to say the least. A trip to urgent care and the ER for xrays and a temporary cast! That will be the first part of this post. 

Last Sunday, Travis and I were dozing in the living room, and the kids were back in our room watching a movie. All of a sudden we hear a thump and a scream. Brynley fell off the bed. She does this often, but this time was different. She was screaming in pain. We called a friend and dropped Madison and Zachary off to play and we headed to urgent care. 

The doctor told us it was Nursemaids Elbow. It's where the radius is popped out of the socket. He popped it back in (OUCH!) then we went over to the ER to take x-rays. She should have been back to normal almost instantly. So they sent us home and told us to come back if she still wasn't using it. 

So, the next morning we head back for more x-rays and more doctors. The big mean doctor "tried again to pop it back!" I wanted to punch him. So the nice doctor put her in a temporary cast. 

This is us leaving on Monday morning. The nice nurse put Princess stickers on her sling or as Brynley calls it "black bandy." 

First night with cast on. She slept for a few hours then was up crying. But she has been sleeping pretty well ever since!

Dr. Abe is coming the house to check her out tomorrow (Tuesday). He has looked at the x-rays and will let us know what he thinks. He is also the same doctor who took care of my foot. Great guy!

Okay so the "I'm bored," started early this year. So we loaded up and headed to a new park. 

The park is Pirate themed. It had a big ship to play

on and lots of slides. The down side is no shade! We lasted about 45 minutes!! But they had fun!

Brynley navigated the play structure pretty well!

The first Idaho State Park we decided to try was Luck Peak. It was only about 45 minutes from home. We went with my sister in law and her family. We took a picnic lunch and played until the babies got tired!

Shannon and Devin brought a fun floating thing. And gave the kids rides around the lake. It was hot when the wind wasn't blowing. But we had a pretty good time!

The first ride! 

I put a plastic bag of her arm and it didn't stop her! She sat and filled up this bucket over and over! She did venture down to the water and sat in the shallows. 

Zach and Madison had fun too and were pretty sad when we left! We will definitely come back!
