Happy 4th and Happy Birthday Adam!

We spent Friday purchasing everything we would need for our camping trip. We then drove to Sparks and fought our way through a very slow, meandering flow of traffic and eventually found a spot where we could watch the Fireworks. We spent the next hour or so killing time. We didn't plan too well. No food or drinks or toys. Just an empty lot to run around in. The show was good and the kids enjoyed it except for a slight cool breeze once the sun went down (again, not so good planning, no jackets or blankets). We opened the back of the van and folded the seats down for some stadium seating. I think everyone in the area comes to watch this show. It is put on by John Ascuaga's Nugget Casino and Hotel. It is actually quite good. They have both towers shooting off fireworks and another station shooting off rockets from the ground.


Just so no one is wondering or worried, here is an udate on my clavicle. I had surgery and all is well as of two and a half weeks later. The scar looks good. I am quite surprised at how well the orthopod closed up the incision, al though at first glance it was longer than I anticipated. I should be in a sling for about a month or longer but over the vacation I refused to wear it and seem to be ok so far.

Still bruised more than a month later.

The incision is approximately 4 inches, running along the clavicle.

This is what it looks like on the inside. A titanium plate with 7 screws. As you can see it spans about 2/3 - 3/4 of the clavicle.

Here are a couple of photos that i didn't put on the vacation post.

There's a reason why we call him "Animal".Father and Son having fun on the water. Man we look good in our hats. No wonder the ladies can't leave us alone.Adam taking a swim with Grandpa. Sorry about the pink floaties Adam, not my call.After our camping trip, we came back to California and saw Leslie's family before they took off to Saint George and then take Mike up to BYU-Idaho for his first semester. Good luck Mike!
