Memorial Day Weekend/Caleb's broken arm

We headed to Brady for Memorial Day Weekend to hang with the family. We stopped on the way to attend my neice, Maegan's, high school graduation. I can't believe she is already going to college, it seems like not very long ago she was in elementary school telling me how a girl is not supposed to have the same boyfriend from year to year. We are very proud of her, I know she will have a bright future. The rest of the weekend was filled with wonderful food, conversation, and fun with the kids. Saturday we headed to the park with Gigi and Aunt Steph to have a picnic. Steph and I enjoyed the new park toys as much as Lexie and Caleb. Rock climbing was a big hit.
Daddy and Caleb enjoyed the view from above.Lex really enjoyed riding the horse.
Later when my nephews Dylan and Logan made it in town with their Dad, we headed back to the park to let the kids play.It started out well, the boys playing well together. And Lex enjoyed having attention from her older cousin Logan.
Then we had a small hiccup in our weekend fun when Caleb fell from a "zip line like" equipment at the local park. Greg had been pushing him along prior without problem, but then he lost is grip the last time while trying to gain his cousin's attention and fell. I knew something wasn't right when Caleb decided he just wanted to watch the rest of the kids play instead of join back in, and he wouldn't use his right arm. So off the the local ER for Xrays. He ended up with a slight fracture to the R forearm and had to wear a splint and sling for our journey back to the city.
We ended the weekend hanging out in the backyard while the kids played; the sling did not slow Caleb down.
Lex enjoyed showing off her new shades.
I wanted to take some pics of Greg and I before we headed out. Greg decided it needed to be silly pics, with my Brother in-law not taking his job as photographer serious either, I didn't have a chance.
Luckily I had the next two days off, so I was able to get him in Tuesday for a cast to have better support for my active son. The doctor said to keep him from climbing or running. I said " you do realize he is a four year old boy." He laughed and said good luck. It will be a long month!
