like 5 stitches and a nose that is broken in 2 places. They actually checked to be sure his brains weren't leaking out his nose. Poor kid was sooo freaked out at the idea of stitches I thought we were going to have to tie him down. He got through it okay though, and as you can see is crashed in the recliner, hopefully for the night. 
Here he is two days later. His eyes are nearly swollen shut, but he felt much better than he looked. He just was a little low energy for a few days. We took the stitches out at one week and within two days after that the scabs and swelling were pretty much gone. Today he looks pretty much normal, just a small scar and some pink, new skin, and of course some tenderness. Let this be a lesson to you kids out there, when riding your bike you should wear a helmet and not try to do stupid stunts to impress your friends.

Afterward we took her to dinner and Grandma Tove treated her to some ice cream. 
On Sunday we had dinner and a little party with my family. Grandma Vera got her a bunch of clothes for school. 
She is sooo excited. She loved her cake! What a great birthday.
We went fishing at Tibble Fork Reservoir. 
We hiked up to Donut Falls and then over at Silver Lake at Brighton. 
We saw a moose at Silver Lake. 
We also spent the day at the zoo with my brother Josh and his wife Annie. The kids really had a lot of fun, they love being with Josh.
We got to visit with an eagle up close.
All the animals were pretty active inspite of the heat (even the kids).
Brooke shows off one of her catches, she did really well.
The weather could not have been better. We spent our days fishing and hiking at Mill Hollow. John caught near 100 fish, of course he sat there from sun up to sun down several days. 
Dad and Brooke spent time helping Alyssa, but she never stayed with it long enough to catch anything.
Everyone else caught enough fish to keep them interested and excited. Erik's sister came up on Sunday with her family. John and Erik helped their two boys catch their first fish. 
The younger one was so funny, he danced around next to Erik singing "fishy, fishy, where are the 
I have not had a better time camping ever. I could have easily stayed another night or two, if only I could have taken my bed with me.
We learned a lot about plants.
Colton wants one of everything in our yard at home. I hope he intends to take care of it himself. He really liked the animal shaped water fountains, and the statues. 
I think his very favorite part was the pond. 
He thought it was great that they had koi that were bigger than our dog. Then on Tuesday, Rylan came home with an injured finger. I took him in to the Instacare where they did some x~rays and said it looked suspicious. They put it in a splint and sent us home. The radiologist called us the next day and said it was okay, the bone was just naturally odd shaped. So he had to keep it in a splint all week, but no fracture and no cast. The rest of the week went as normal, work, school, sleep, repeat.
