Summer was one thing after another.
Chris and Carmen just happened to be in the States and were able to come and visit for a day after David's motorcycle wreck.
We took Caleb to Camden Park for the hospital's Family Day.
He loves the rides.
David's shoulder was causing him a lot of pain.
When he went back to the doctor, and they did x-rays - turned out it was really not healing as it should have.
They scheduled for surgery the next day.
The collarbone which had been shattered in the wreck was still pretty much in a line at that time, so they had elected not to do surgery on it.
However, as time passed - those bones were shifting (hence the frequent pain).
They had migrated and were now in danger of coming thru the skin.
They put in a plate and (several) screws and lined it all back up.

In July, we all went to a Reds game. (It was Hawaiian shirt day!)
Austin and Casey have been several times, but we haven't.
Of course, we had to eat at Frisch's on the way (family tradition).
Even ran into a friend while we were there.
We ended up with 2 little visitors in Aug, after finding them in the yard.
They were terribly cute.
We took care of them for about a week, and then sent them on their way.
We finished out the summer with another day trip to The Wilds in OH.
I've heard about it for some time now - finally made it.
Very cool - I highly recommend it.
The African Painted Dogs were my favorite, even though I don't have a good picture of them.
And then ... school had to start back.
