If you haven’t followed Our Story, you might want to start at the beginning. My father was on his way to the ER with Sailor. Apparently all the laughing and a reaction to the tape used on the incision had caused "stuff" to start seeping out from the bandages. Since I'm not one to back down from a threat, I made my father take Sailor to the ER while I tended to our daughter and tried to get some ...
Frisbee Golf & Camping
My family loves Frisbee Golf. If you aren't familiar with the sport it is kind of like golf, except you play with frisbees and you don't ride in a cart or wear funny looking pants. ;) We like it because it is fun, and you don't have to be very good to play- so my younger kids are not excluded from the activity.
