This last weekend Marla, Simon, Sophie, and Alex visited us in Seattle. They arrived on Friday to a beautiful evening – unfortunately that was the end of the great weather. We ended up getting close to 2 inches of rain over the weekend. But that didn’t dampen the activities. We went to a fun center with a 3 story kids habitrail. All of the kids loved it. It was obvious once we got home – they all took naps.
Later on Saturday we had all of PEPs over for a Labor Day weekend bar-b-que. We had chicken, hot dogs, sliders, and sausages – plus a bunch of side dishes. Yummy.
Sunday was a very wet day so we spent most of the day at home. After Marla/Simon and family left on Monday, Zach wanted to go see the animals – the penguins, bears, and giraffes. Off we went to the zoo. We fortunately had very good weather while we were there. The rest of the weekend was quiet until Monday night.
Zach and Nate were playing on our bed and Zacher fell off. He seemed more agitated than normal so we checked him out every 30 minutes for signs of a head injury. He kept falling asleep and only complained of a sore neck. About 2 hours after the fall he woke up complaining of pain. So I took him to the ER. They saw nothing wrong and sent me home. The next morning Zach could not get out of bed because of the pain. He also started protecting his right arm and shoulder. Steph made him another doctor appointment. Within about a minute the doctor guessed that Zach had broke his collarbone – the x-rays confirmed it. Age 4, 2 broken bones…he’s like a little stunt-man.
Here are some photos from the weekend.
Cute Kid!
Happy Alex in the swing.
