YOWZER!

Sunday afternoon we took a little stroll around the neighborhood. The kids wanted to make a quick stop here...Hope decided to test out her climbing skills by climbing up the backside of the big plastic fish, hanging her legs over the big green pipe and... Well, the picture does the talking. It didn't end well. We took her home and spent the night wondering if her wrist was broken or if it was just a bad sprain. By the next morning we were convinced it was broken and took her in to have the results confirmed. Hope was a serious trooper and never shed a tear.

We had to wait for the swelling to go down so we just had the cast put on this morning. Check out that sucker!!! Yes, it is a broken wrist but apparently she broke both bones and to prevent any movement from twisting they had to go up over her elbow for two weeks. After that we will go back in and get a new smaller cast put on for two more weeks.

All I can say is bless the soul who invented waterproof casts! The thing hasn't slowed her down a bit and she spent the rest of the day at the park (yep the same one) and jumping on the trampoline.

And on an ironic note, one of her best friends is also sporting a hot pink cast. Grace broke her arm a few weeks ago. Didn't you know a hot pink cast is hottest thing these days?
