We decided to go hiking on Memorial Day. We went to a spot where the boys could get in the water, which was cold, but they didn't seem to mind. We had a couple of little mishaps along the way. My hiking boots decided to fall apart; the soles detached from the boot. I guess after 11 years, they'd had it, although I haven't used them that much. Luckily there was still a little bit of the sole covering my feet. The other little mishap was Owen cutting his finger on a little piece of glass. He was having fun throwing rocks in the water and got cut by a little piece as he was picking up rocks. (I happened to be videoing at the time. You'll see him trying to brush it off.) It was bleeding pretty good, and of course we didn't have our little first aid kit like we usually do, so we didn't have any band-aids. And we had already hiked about 2 miles in. What to do? We used the next best thing - part of a diaper. I tore off part where the velcro was and wrapped it around his finger. Worked pretty well. (Note to self: you can use a diaper in a pinch! :)) The boys had a great time and they were all exhausted by the time we got done (we ended up hiking about 5 miles).
But... that didn't keep us from going to the park later and then out for ice cream. Fun day!
