Nathan broke his left leg at a bike race just outside of Indianapolis on the 6th. He had surgery that afternoon, spent the night in the hospital, and came home Monday. With a plate and a few screws in the bone and with the help of a walker (and some pain meds), he could walk on his leg right from the start.
Nate really has been a very good patient, despite what Penny might think. Evelyn was a great helper right from the start. Jameson wasn't nearly as hard to manage either. I worried he would brother Nate in the first few days and try to jump or run into him or his leg. The days were long though because there just wasn't much Nate could do even if he wanted to, but that is definitely getting better as Nate heals.
Friday afternoon Amanda, Ben, and the boys came to Fort Wayne instead of the camping trip we all had planned for the weekend.
While Nate and Ben stayed home to play video games, Amanda and I took the kids to the zoo on Saturday.
There were lots of opportunities for group pictures.
Everyone got to feed the giraffes.
And pet a snake if they wanted.
I love this picture! Such good smiles on Isaac and Evelyn's faces.
Only two of the four made it through the whole zoo awake, although once back at the car, Evelyn just laid down on the sidewalk. She was finished.
After short naps on the car ride home, we put on a movie and the kids had popcorn.
Sunday morning, Amanda and Ben (and Nate) watched the kids so I could do my marathon training run. Afterward, we visited the splash pad and park.
