Why oh Why?
We had finally decided to do something really fun for the summer as a family. We purchased season passes to Cherry Hill. Yes, we were going to spend the majority of our summer playing in the water and catching some rays. The summer was off to a cool start, so we really had only gone to Cherry Hill a few times. And what happens? Our sweet Brook broke her arm!!!! We're not new to broken arms. This is the 5th one we've had. 4 of them within a year. However, Brook had to outdo all of the breaks we've had so far. She cracked the bone all the way through above her elbow. It required surgery and 3 pins. But we figure it'll be ok. We can get a waterproof cast. Not all is lost. Until the doctor tells us she can't get her arm wet. With the pins in her arms, it doesn't matter if she has a waterproof cast or not. She simply can't get her arm wet. So we invested in the Dry Pro. A fabulous looking cover for her cast. You can't leave it on for more than 45 minutes. And it doesn't help that she sometimes cries because it's cutting off her circulation. Luckily, she will be getting her cast off in another week. It's hard to see but in the picture below you can kind of see the pins sticking out. And that guy with Brook in the 0ther picture is the horrible man that stuck those pins in her. Or the wonderful guy that put her back together. I guess it just depends on the way you want to look at it.
