Swimmin' & Slidin'

Owen watches the fish, salamanders and tadpoles in Lake Minnewaska before wading in.

 As you can see, even a broken arm doesn't slow Owen down!

Broken arm in Rainbow Park

Owen and Victoria are enjoying chocolate treats after a big lunch just before the "Great Monkey Bar Incident"!  Owen jumped up to grab the bar and missed and fell.  He dusted himself off and like the brave like the brave little boy that he is, he jumped up and did it again!  He missed again and broke his left arm!

After an Ambulance ride to Elmhurst ER and 5 hours of a slow morphine drip his tummy was empty enough for the anesthesia so they could reset the bones...not looking so good.

...really not looking good.

...and before you know it...good as new...almost!  Ginger ale is a miracle drink!!!

6 days later a water proof cast makes all the difference!  Look out pool!  Cast is set to come off June 20th!  Fingers crossed!

This is my new favorite "carousel photo"!

...more butterfly happiness!

And can you believe it...a MIDGE fly!

Owen waiting for the central line train to London!  Very excited!

Here he is going for a spin in front of the Tower of London!

He is very proud of the Lego "Wall-E" he made...

Going into London for the big "fun run" for the 2012 Sports Relief with Nanna and cousins...
