Duck Creek: Day Five "Things get interesting"


Per excitement of the Bonfire we had the night before, Jordan and Adahi went about collecting wood to make their own. Just pretend of course. I knew they were doing that, but when the boys went up to tell Grammy all they said to her was 

"Grammy, we made a bonfire!"

Grammy:  "What?" "Where?"
J & A:  "outside, over by that big Marshmallow thing"

(that big marshmellow thing was a huge Gas tank)

JJ's mom's blood pressure probably shot through the roof. The misunderstanding was eventually cleared up you can see from the picture below what their "bonfire" was.



A bunch of sticks in a sort of pile.
Thankfully a misunderstanding or they could have blown the cabin to kingdom come!

Later they were building a fort



Unfortunately Adahi is not always the most coordinated, he was just walking along the log that was 2 1/2 feet high and he fell off right after I took this picture. I rushed over and he was lying on the ground holding his leg, he wouldn't stand on it.  I carried him in the house worried he broke his leg. As Cathy and I layed him down and saw a large swollen bump on the front of his shin, my worries were confirmed. He moaned in pain for awhile and still couldn't walk on it. So she took him down to an EMT place in the village, of course when they got there he hopped out and walked all around like nothing happened. They didn't think it was broken,but advised us to watch it because it was so swollen. She got it 
x-rayed on our way out of town, thankfully just a really deep bruise. 

(note before this event,  He had already gotten 2 large goose eggs on his head from bumping into things at their house. Since this event, he busted his lip in 4 places while jumping into the pool and got stiches. He is seriously a walking accident waiting to happen, but very very lovable!)



They even share a love of Origami


We went for a little walk and the kids ended up building another fort...





Tepee fort





That night we drove around looking for deer, we saw five deer, 2 fox,1 beaver, 2 blue jays,
 and a partridge in a pear tree...

quite successful hunt I would say!
