The wagon of death
















We have had a few injuries in the past few days. While Beck and Kate were over this weekend Cassie was run over by the Jeep because Erik is a very inexperienced driver. After he hit her and took her out, he gunned it several times until he was able to finally clear the rest of her. The worst of her injuries was a friction burn on her foot (where the tire skidded for awhile). Beck was scared to death of the Jeep and the wagon even before the injuries-very smart. Kate was having a good time in the wagon when her feet slipped out from under her and she ended up with a bloody nose. Then last night Matt was being a good brother/cousin and giving all the kids train rides in the wagon. His excitement got the best of him and he couldn't resist adding some speed to the mix. This is the old style wagon with the front wheels and handle combined into one unit, and it tips over very easily. Luckily (for Dani's sake) Erik and Jennie were the ones in the wagon when it took the spill so Riley and Brooke were safe. They tumbled out and received various injuries. Jennie's worst injury was a really nasty bump on the head and lots of road rash, but she is doing well today. Poor Erik had no scrapes or cuts, but he did have a broken collar bone. That kid has had so many X-rays it unbelievable. He has a nice little sling for the next two weeks, and he is pretty whiny today, but hopefully he will be able to get his shirt off soon. When it hurts and he cries he says "I can't move a muscle". So cute. -Candi
