Yesterday the kids and I drove to Pennsylvania to meet up with my friend Jen for a few hours. They decorated gingerbread cookies, pet farm animals, enjoyed soft pretzels and had a fun time . . . mostly . . .
Poor Jesse, it seems as if everything happens to him! He had just come down with a bad cough, so he was hacking all day long and feeling miserable. As we were sitting outside enjoying a snack, he managed to put his hand on a bee and get stung. He didn't have too bad of a reaction, but his finger did swell up and hurt for the rest of the day. Then we were at a little petting farm. Jesse climbed up on the fence to pet the miniature horse. Unfortunately, the food available for people to feed the horse looks a lot like a 4-year-old's big toe (or at least I guess that's what the horse was thinking.) The horse chomped right down on Jesse's sandaled foot and left a nice little cut on his toe. Jesse was more than ready to go home by this point.
I don't know what it is about him, but it seems that adventure follows him where ever he goes, not to mention injury and accidents. Oh well, he'll be a brave, experienced lad when he grows up. (If he makes it that far!)
But all in all we had a fun day. Jen, thanks so much for coming to see us!
