The cast is off!

Well, the cast came off today. Nothing too surprising, there weren't any legos in there or anything. She took the longest bath ever tonight! Her skin is coming off, just dry skin from being under the cast. I think sitting in the water for a while helped get some of it off. Her leg wasn't all white and shrively and small like I thought it would be. It looks pretty normal. Unfortunately, she's not putting any weight on it. She still thinks it's broken. The wheelchair is due back Thursday, and I really don't want to keep it. I'd rather look into crutches or a walker. But we said a prayer tonight that God will help her leg get stronger so she can play with her friends at school and daycare, so I'm believing it won't be long!

Cast update and Christopher Columbus's ships

Look at this gorgeous picture! I love it. Wasn't planned at all, just happened. Anyway...

This is what her cast currently loks like. Dirty, worn out, and being held together by duct tape. Yep, that's right. Duct tape.

Just as a reminder, this is what it looked like the day we got it. I'm curious what her doctor is going to say tomorrow when we go get it taken off. I can't wait for this to be over!!!

So, replicas of the Nina and Pinta are currently docked close by and we went to visit them today. You can pay to take a tour, but as it turned out, we got there 10 minutes after the last tour got on. But one of the workers was nice enough to give us 5 minutes on the boats, no charge! And that's really all you needed. They're tiny!!

The blanket had to be in the picture.

That's all for now. I'll post more pics after the cast comes off tomorrow!

Festival Fun

My parents have some property at a nearby river and the association was having a first annual festival this year. Mom, Dad and Sydney

The old mill on the property and the river

Just a cool picture

Inside one of the cabins being built to rent out.

Sydney taking part in the kids area, painting. Isn't she so gorgeous?! I know, I'm biased.

The tongue being out is a required position for proper painting.

The old mansion on the property. It's been coverted to a bed and breakfast that rents out for the low low price of only $400 a night. Can you believe that deal? Ha!

My parents property from where the house will be sitting. One day. Like 15 years from now probably.

My dad and Sydney. We had a good time, and Sydney kept telling me after we got back that she really had fun at the festival.
