The boys and I spent a week at mimi and papa's (my parents) in Ephrata, Lancaster County. We did all sorts of fun stuff. On Monday, Mom and I got pedicures and dad hung out with the boys. We visited the Lancaster Science Factory...visited grandma grandma and she taught us how to play a card game called golf. Tuesday, my parents, the boys and my aunt and I were invited to go swimming at my friend Amy's house in York. We had a great time. We all went home and showered for a fun night out at the Beverly Hills Tavern, a cool restaurant with a very large patio area surrounded by a beach area of sand for the kids to play in while we ate!
Wednesday we made our annual trip to Dutch Wonderland with dinner at yummy Oregon Dairy! We topped off the night hanging out with my aunt deb and uncle brian.
Thursday we all went to visit Grampy. We are so glad we did because less than 3 weeks later he died. After our visit we made our first trip to Sonic, good stuff! Then we went mini golfing and bowling, stopped at a farmer's stand to pick up some stuff for our picnic later that day. We hosted (at my parents big back porch) my grandma and her sister Nelda down from MA.
Friday, mom and i went outlet shopping and to lunch while dad had the guys. We picked up Issac's for supper and met dad and the boys for a picnic at the Roland Park in Akron. The boys were great all week and we had fabulous weather and did everything we wanted to accomplish...until...the boys were done eating and headed back to the playground. All of a sudden we heard someone crying and the big two came running and said mason fell and hit his mouth. I went running and found Mason just screaming! I saw no blood and he kept wiping his lip and saying, "bad bee!". I sat down to get a better look and saw his upper lip had a red area with a white spot in the middle of it. Until I got to my parents his lip was swelling and the look on my mom's face was like, uh oh! His lip was getting bigger by the second so we rushed to the ER, thankfully only a five minute drive away. After some drama in the ER, it was finally our turn and a long story short, a shot of some very strong benadryl and a konked out Mason, we were on our way home! Daddy came to get us and Mason slept from 7pm Friday night until 9 am Saturday morning and woke up and looked at me and said pointing to his lip "What happened to Mason's lip?"!

Oh, Heidi, I am sorry to hear about your grandfather and am so glad you had a final visit with him before he died. By the way, we have eaten at Oregon Dairy and we are very big fans of Sonic, too (they are a popular chain in Oklahoma by my mom). Anyway, I am impressed with your humor over the groceries and cart hitting the truck - we need some lessons in finding humor in situations like that! Lots of love to you, Michelle
