Free Cone Day

Today was free cone day at Ben and Jerrys. The whole family was supposed to go but John got stuck at work late- so I decided to still take the kids. The closest Ben and Jerrys is in downtown delray on Atlantic Ave so we parked a few blocks away in a public parking lot and enjoyed a nice walk too.

We had to spend a dollar to get Lauren the cone with the sprinkles :)

Looking Good

I took the kids to the beach and the park today- nothing like taking advantage of life going back to normal since Michael had his stitches removed yesterday. At the park Michael's nail fell off (which were knew was going to happen). John and I both thought we saw new nail growing under the old nail but weren't 100% sure and didn't want to get our hopes too high since the surgeon had made it pretty clear we shouldn't. But, the nail is now off and there is nail growing back! Now the prayers have turned to it growing in correctly!

A Visit to the Surgeon

We went back to the plastic surgeon today to have Michael's stitches removed and we were under the impression from our last visit with him that he would also be removing the nail at the same time. Good news was he took the stitches out but said the nail will fall off on its own. This was a relief, I was having such anxiety about all of the pain my poor baby has already been through because of this and I knew in some way taking that nail off was going to hurt!

Ice Cream

It was such a nice night out so after dinner we took the kids out for ice cream.

A 7.2 Mile Walk

This morning I got a crazy idea in my head to go on a VERY long walk with the kids.. it totaled 7.2 miles!!!

A little more than half way through we stopped at the park for some fun!

My New Favorite Place

With Michael's injury I have been trying to find things to do that are fun and don't include sand, mulch, or water- good luck in FL! In my investigating I came across Green Cay Nature Center in Boynton Beach! The minute I got there I knew it was going to be an amazing day. Its a 1.5 mile boardwalk through the wetlands and it is absolutely beautiful!We have been there 3 times already and I plan on going back more! Today, Tammy met us there with her son Brody and stepdaughter Haylie.

Bubble Guns

A friend of ours, Scott bought the kids bubble guns at the marine flea market he was working at this past weekend. What a great invention... the kids loved every second of playing with them!

Just like every thing else Michael had to see how it tasted!
