Freaky Friday

Well I would have thought it was Friday the 13th last Friday, but no, it was August 1st. Because crazy things were happening that day. We finally took Luke to the doctor because on Tuesday he fell off his skateboard and was still limping around on Friday. So we took him in and low and behold he has a broken foot. Mother of the Year award, I know. So now he has this beautiful boot that he has to wear for 4 weeks, including while he is sleeping which he is not happy about. The good news...at least it's not a cast AND now we only have to find one shoe when it's time to go.

Then, actually before this, Adam was biking and he got down the mountain to call me and his new work phone was sitting in two inches of water from a leak in his camel pack. The good news...if you take your phone apart and let it dry and then put it back together, it will usually work again. I know because my phone has been thrown in the tub. Guess who? So I think his phone is working again, but it was stressful thinking that it wouldn't, because we would have had to pay for it.

And last, but not least, we were completely packed, I mean ready to go, the kids were in the car and everything, ready to go camping, and the car would not start. We tried jumping it but there wasn't enough juice to get it going, it was insane. We tried for about 2 hours, different things, and the whole time I'm imagining our cooler in the back of our black car, roasting in the sun. Anway, we got Dianna and Eric to get us a new battery and they were on their way up when Adam decides to try it one more time and it just starts up fine. What the heck?! Frustrating. So we went camping and put the new battery in. Then on the way home from camping it died like 4 times. Couldn't get it to work, etc. etc., then wall ah (is that how you spell it), it was fine again. So the bad news is something is wrong with our car but it does actually work right now. And for all you worry warts we ARE going to get it looked at today. Here are some pictures from camping up American Fork Canyon.

Luke and the boot

Saturday we went fishing, which was all about the kids. They played in the water and with the poles. It wasn't Adam's idea of fishing (he likes to fly fish) but he endured for the kids. The weather was pretty nice actually, not too sunny and breezy, and the kids had fun.

Scaring the fish away. Oh well.
