Rain, Rescue, and Rabies

It's been raining cats and dogs-we've been told this is one of the hardest hit drought areas but you'd never know it based on this weeks weather. Despite the circumstances, the kids are having a good time and the services have been wonderful. One of our teens approached me this evening, sharing what the Lord was doing in their life this week. What a wonderful thing to hear!

We always anticipate something is going to happen to someone when we go to camp. One never truly looks forward to it being one of their kiddos! Karis was stretching on the top bunk yesterday morning when she slid off the bed and landed face first on the carpet. She's got a carpet burn on her chin, swollen lips, bruised gums, a loose tooth and a sore ankle. *Sigh.

As I was trying to console her at breakfast and finding something soft she could eat, we were approached by office staff. Andrew had been bitten, twice, by a squirrel. Of all things. So here we now sit at the closest medical facility an hour away. I was told by my pediatrician's nurse that Andrew was due for a Tetanus booster last year-I had failed to bring him in for that Oops. He just received his tetanus booster and we are waiting to hear if he'll need the Rabies shots. I think he has learned that squirrels, even baby ones, don't much like to cuddle. He receive a healthy lecture from his nurse, Hilda (real name) and will no longer attempt to catch wild animals.

Did I remember to tell you this is the same child who fell on Monday, chipping his tooth?
