Our first trip to the E.R.

Guess I should just be lucky this is the first time, after all he is 5, a boy and a Howland. It's a great story and I'm sure he is just going to love that I am telling it! He was at the after school program and was on a bathroom break. He walked into the little boys when he slipped on some urine on the floor and fell and hit is chin on the urinal. Yep.not.kidding.at.all.

Good story, huh.



It turned out the gash wasn't so deep it needed stitches but was big enough they decided to glue it. Who knew glue would have so many uses. He was a bit traumatized by the whole procedure, but then they gave him a Slurpee and he was good to go.

I can't wait until he gets his license!

So while we were at SDC they had go-carts everywhere! We went on several and even tried out the bumper boats. We found one place that had a mini-track for all the kids. This was great, and as you can see in the pictures Trent is not paying any bit of attention to the track ahead of him. In every picture he is looking at all the other racers and if they get close to him he runs them off the track or "puts them into the wall." Why oh why would my sweet boy do this? Oh, yes, he had been riding passenger with daddy this whole time and if I ever got close to them, this was their plan of action for me. So when Trent got in the drivers seat, that is exactly what he did to all these innocent kids. Thank goodness all the parents were in good spirits and we all had quite a chuckle over it.

yep your going in the wall!


you too!



don't even think about it blondie!


and into the wall you go!


oh yeah, I'm watching you!

Silver Dollar City

We decided to take a short trip to Silver Dollar City, lots of fun!!
We made the mistake of taking Trent on Canon in the Hole for our very first ride...it was a little much for him, so we were banned to the elephants and tea cups for the rest of our trip there.



Awww, the beloved elephants.



He did love all the water sprayers they had!

Guess I got a little wet.


just a little though.


it was that guy.



His very favorite part of our vacation, dippin dots!
