New Years at the Dunes!!!!
We had so much fun with the fireworks this year, now that they are legal!
Jon loved helping Dad with them and seemed to know more about them than Dad did.
Jon also had a great time as always entertaining all the kids at camp! They always have so much fun with him!!
Austin could not give the poor quad a break..... He had a blast, a dream come true! He rode the quad day and night!
Charlotte and Kalicia got really good this year at riding Charlotte's little quad. They cruised all over camp with the other kids. I loved watching them! Can't forget how much fun they had sledding down the sand hills! I think Dad and Caroline had the most fun sledding!!!
Dad took us on lots of rides on the Ranger and Caroline fell asleep every time.....
Then the craziest thing.... after lecturing the boys to be safe on the quads, I of course have to give an object lesson right in front of them!!! I was following along on the quad right behind them and hit the jump just wrong, took air for about 10-15 feet landed it wrong and the quad came down right on top of me, crushing my leg. I just layed there in pain, not able to move with Austin trying to do CPR on me with me wide awake. It was one of those comical painful moments with Austin trying to help me.
Luckily, nothing ended up broken, but torn up muscle and a puncture wound was a great lesson for me. About a week later, I did end up in the emergency room with a major infection and blood clots, with the thought of losing my leg. It looked horrible and the pain was unbearable! With a blessing and the right antibiotics it is starting to heal, but they said what I did was worse than a break. I am lucky to have my leg and it will take almost a year to heal and get rid of all the blood clots. This has taught me I am not a teenager anymore. The scariest part is I have to keep myself together so I can be a mom. Thanks Aunt Satya for helping me with my leg while we were camping!
We had an awesome New Years!!! One of the blessings is that the injury happened to me and not one of my kids.
