Broken Bones and Ice Cream Cones

We suffered our first broken bone on June 25th. Daddy took the girls to visit their Great-Grandparents. As they were running around in a circle, Abigail tripped and fell. Daddy took her to the Urgent Care where they did x-rays and determined everything was alright. However, an hour later we get a message from the doctor saying that we need to come in the next day for more x-rays because they think they saw a "buckle fracture". That would not have been too big of a problem except Abigail HATES the x-ray machine. I had to basically hold her down as she cried. But, sure enough, the second set of x-rays confirmed that there was a fracture. Daddy had to take her to EOOC where she had to be held again so they could cast it. She chose a "rojo" cast(pictured below) and loves the fact that Daddy drew a Bob the Tomato(from VeggieTales) on it. She is doing very well and does not complain about it. She will most likely have to wear it 2-3 weeks. We go back on the 10th for the decision. This is just another example of how she is like her Mommy. I had 7 casts on my wrists from the time I was 2 until I was 14. I desperately hope this will be her last.

We had to get in on the "all you can eat ice cream" action, so we braved the heat and took the girls to Blue Bell for their annual "A taste of Summer" event. Josh said it was his version of Heaven. There were people all over just handing out free ice cream and popsicles. The girls liked it at first, but once the novelty of the ice cream wore off, they realized how HOT is was. We cooled off while taking a tour of the plant, eating more ice cream, visiting the fire trucks, and making crafts. Abigail, of course, ate nothing but chocolate, while Emily had rainbow popsicles.
