Vacation Day One

We found another small community park caboose in Russellville, Missouri. As we were leaving after taking photos, Benji fell on the sidewalk and screamed in pain. A kiss wouldn’t fix this boo boo. I heard Sandy shout “he’s bleeding!”, then turned to see blood dripping profusely. Thankfully it wasn’t his face, but he did badly cut his right pinky finger. I clamped his hand to stem the bleeding while Sandy retrieved a towel. After loading Davey in the car, Sandy held Benji on her lap during the 20 mile ride to the Jefferson City Emergency Room. Benji was such a brave little boy during the whole emergency and Davey understood the situation by saying “Benji’s hurt”. Over the next several hours the doctor super glued Benji’s hand back together and confirmed by x-ray that no glass or broken bones were imbedded. Benji leads Davey in Emergency Room visits 2 to 0.
