Stephen & The Tree

Stephen joined the scouts for a campout in the Yosemite area. They had a great time. There was only one small incident. While on the rope swing attempting to do a back flip into the water, Stephen decided he needed more time to adjust on the swing. So he was taking the swing back to land when he ran smack dab into a tree. The scouts tell me he was lucky not to drop onto some sharp rocks. We feel pretty lucky too.

He called me on his way home to claim he was fine. When I saw his injury, I asked him how the tree fared in the accident.

That is way worse than the simple scratch the Stephen was claiming he had. Owie!! I hope it has all healed up by now.

Ow!! I guess it wouldn't really be scout camp without coming home with at least one injury! I'm glad it wasn't worse and hope it heals soon!

Looks like a pretty hard hit!! Hydrogen Peroxide works well to clean up scratches. So when are we going to hear about the exciting decision you've been making. Don't leave us in the dark (Mom doesn't always tell us everything)! ha ha
