Picking Apples and Stitches

Our day started just like any other day. We got up and started our day with school work. We have been studying autumn and I thought it would be fun to go to an apple orchard to let the kids pick apples right off the trees. We met up with Wendy, and her boys at Farnsworth Farms. The kids had SOOOOO much fun picking apples. They found the biggest ones that they could, as well as the smallest. After we were done picking apples we went over to The Chocolate Cottage and got some delicious sweets to eat. Then we went to Wendy's house to play.

We were planning to go to Hollywood Connection because Wendy and I had some deal vouchers that we had purchased that expired that day. Since it didn't open for a few hours we decided to play at Wendy's house and let Hudson take a nap. Kaylee, Gabby, and Roman went out to the backyard to play and enjoy some sunshine. Wendy had a tent set up so the kids decided to play house and the tent was their house. The next thing we knew Kaylee was at the back door crying and dripping blood everywhere. She had snagged her toe on the tent stake and cut in between her toes all the way to the bone. I loaded her up into the car after cleaning it up a bit and headed on our very first trip over to InstaCare. The nurses looked at it and tried to figure out the best way to patch her up, then the doctor came and looked at it and they decided there was no way of getting around putting stitches in but it was REALLY tricky because of where the cut was. They numbed up her toes, stitched her up, and sent us on our way. When we were done Kaylee asked the nurse if she would still be able to go to Hollywood Connection. We didn't make it over there, but Wendy had called and talked to the manager and due to the circumstances they extended our vouchers an extra week. WOW!!! What a day.
