During the summer, we went to my in-laws cabin on Lake Metigoshe. We would go with Dave's parents (Dick and Vi) and his sister Sandy and her husband Rick. They had a little boy the same age as Danny, his name was Ricky. When we weren't cooking or cleaning up, we spent most of our time by the dock swimming and sunbathing. We also liked sitting in lounge chairs reading or talking. Danny was a regular little waterduck, had been since he was a toddler. Ricky was scared to death of the water and wouldn't go in past his ankles.
Danny got his third set of stitches that year we stayed in Minot while Dave was in Viet Nam. I had bought an inflatable swimming pool for Danny and Ricky to "swim" in. We set it up in the front yard and they started having a great time.Danny ran and jumped into the pool on his knees and split his knee open on a sharp bone that was under the pool. I had checked the area before I put the pool there, but I obviously missed that bone. I called Sandy to see if she could come over and stay with Ricky and Laura while I took Danny to the emergency room for stitches.

That was a big set of stitches too! Must have been quite the jump!
ReplyDeleteHe did everything physical with a lot of gusto!
ReplyDeleteIt was a big gash, and I still have the scar. Also remember we stopped off for ice cream on the way back home.
ReplyDeleteI don't remember stopping off for ice cream but it is something I would have done.
