Easter Weekend

Our Easter weekend started off good my mom and I took Lexie, Seth, and Connor to an Easter Egg hunt in Menan Saturday morning and they all had fun and got some candy then we took them back to my parents house so they could play on their new jungle gym and ride their four-wheelers. Lexie and Connor were having a blast playing of the swings and Seth was doing laps around my parents yard on his motorcycle.

Then we heard Seth crash followed by screams for help. We all ran over to him and he was tangled up in a barbed wire fence. When my mom took off his helmet we saw that his face was cut up pretty bad. My parents took him to the ER while I stayed with Lexie and Connor. Broc had been riding his motorcycle on a track at my cousins house about a mile away so I called him and told him to hurry back. When he go to my parents he was hopping on one foot. He told me that 5 minutes before I called he had crashed his motorcycle and hurt his ankle. His ankle was already swollen and he couldn't put any pressure on it. I tried to talk him into getting it looked at but he said that he was fine and that it was probably just a sprain. My sister called and said that Dr. Wilson had seen Seth and that he needed to take him to surgery to debrid and close his cuts. Broc and I took Lexie and Connor to my aunts house and headed for the hospital. When we got there Broc's ankle was so sore that I had to get him a wheel chair, but he still insisted that he didn't need to get it checked out. Seth's surgery went well and he is doing good now. He's such a tough little guy!

We got some crutches for Broc from his dad. He said that it's still pretty sore but he thinks it's getting better.
Hopefully next weekend is better! I hope that everyone had a good Easter!
