We went to Saint George this past weekend. Friday was the last day of school for Jackson and Daddy had Monday off so we thought it would be a fun start to summer vacation...so we thought. The kids were so excited because we made plans to visit our friends. On Saturday we went to out friends house for a barbecue. As we got ready to sit down and eat Jackson started screaming. Jackson and Roston were playing and he slid on the wood floor and his foot collided into the door jam breaking his pinkie toe...off to the ER we went! :(
We spent 3 hours in the ER. After x-rays, shots in the toe, resetting the toe, and a second set of x-rays he was done and ready to go play with his friends. He was so brave! The doctor said no swimming for a couple weeks...definitely not a great start to summer. He is a trooper and will make the best of it. The morning after he slept til 11:30. When he woke up he was in good spirits considering his limitations and could not wait to go hang out with our friends again. That afternoon we went our friend's house for dinner again. The kids played while the parents talked and tried to watch a movie. Besides the broken toe, it was a great weekend visiting our friends and relaxing together as a family.

Great story! I don't know what kind of friends would allow such a tragic injury to occur at their home...
