Visit from GiGi, GPaw, and YaYa

My dad left in June to do a project overseas in Saudi Arabia and he gets to come home every 8 weeks for a two week visit.  When they came, my aunt came down too and we all got to visit and spend some time together. We went out to the back and picked a watermelon (as I'm sure you can tell is one of our favorite activities) and cut it open. We also shelled beans that my aunt had brought from a market she had been to. We had a great time until "tragedy" struck =).  My Aunt Linda had brought me an awesome yellow table that she had found at a resale store and we set it in the middle of the living room to shell the beans on. After dinner, Tanner was jumping up and down on the couch and lost her footing and fell into the table.  Clinton picked her up immediately since she was crying and held her close. He pulled her back to see where she had hit herself and yelled to me because her face and the front of her body was covered in blood. She had hit her head right over her left eyebrow and it was bleeding pretty bad.  We took her to the emergency room, along with GiGi and YaYa, while GPaw went to the store to get her some ice cream for when she returned home.  They glued her wound and she was good to go. She was very brave with the doctor, and let him do whatever he needed. It was our first official trip to the emergency room for a child, but I'm sure it won't be the last!
