New Artistic Cast

Published on by amyewhitelivecomLeave a comment
My friend Amy wanted to take a crack at decorating my third and hopefully last cast and I was all for it.  
Her inspiration was Gustav Klimt who painted The Kiss.
You can definitely see the inspiration in my cast.  We chose a different painting for her to work from but there are so many similarities.  

And the best part is that I got a glow in the dark cast so I have a built in night light!

After this cast comes off, I have about a month in a wrist support but I will be able to take it off around the house.  I\’m looking forward to being cast free!

Getting Outside

Getting outside to make some oobleck.  When I was a kid it was called cornstarch and water.    This is a bucket full of 5# of cornstarch and water.    Begin the experiments — nerf darts, soccer ball, hammer, etc.

Getting outside for an afterschool walk with Sonic down to the fire road. 

Basketball, Sonic, Quinn.

Really appreciating the beauty around me. 

Dual Swim Meet

Don and Quinn swam in their first swim meet together.  It was a fun event with the Daland Swim Team being split into two groups:  Pink Team and Black Team.  Don and Quinn were drafted for the black team.

The Black Team getting pumped up!  That\’s the main swim coach next to Don.

So proud of these guys showing up and participating!

All the swimmers warming up.  You can spot Don by his tattoo at the bottom of the picture.

All the swimmers. 

Don swam in 5 events and Quinn in 4.  The trick is to write your event number, heat, and lane on your arm. 

And they\’re off! Don is in lane 4.  The high flying woman in the pink cap next to Don is Coach Adrienne who usually coaches Quinn\’s team.  There were a handful of adult swimmers and most of them swam in college and were pretty good. 

Don crushed it in the 50 yard breast stroke and won his race! 

Quinn\’s favorite stroke is the back stroke and he came in 2nd in his race.  Wahoo!

 

Swim meets seem to go on forever.  So this one was chillaxin!

Cheering on his dad!  What a great day!
