We are now staying in LaGrange, GA at 3 Creeks Entertainment Campground(http://www.3creeksentertainment.net/). Randy's working this week in Valley AL about 17 miles from here. The boys are enjoying the campground. There is a roller skating rink, playground, catfish pond and a water slide set to open later this week. They even got Mom up on roller blades!!! Proof that Amazing things do still happen. (No pictures but lots of laughs, especially when I "gracefully" deposited my bum on the floor when getting up from the bench where Randy was sitting!! Oh the memories ... sore muscles ... bruises ... ) Malachi & Josiah spent some hard earned money on new bikes as their old ones were worn out. Josiah got a 2-shifter and Malachi got a single shifter. Once we got them home and all fine tuned they were off riding the hills of the campground. Needless to say within 30 minutes Josiah was rushing to our home to let us know Malachi had an "awesome wreck ... but he's hurt". It must have been some wreck as he broke the light on the front of the bike, knocked the seat out of position, tore the back of the seat and I'm not sure what else to the bike. He has a pretty impressive road burn on his right elbow and arm as well as his right knee with bruises showing up today. He also hurt his left arm ... which didn't have any markings or major dirt as did the rest of his body ... and it looks like we will have to see about getting it x-rayed as it's still really causing pain today too. Oh the life of being a boy!! Mom's moving slow today as the roller blading caused muscles to scream of their existence along with the lack of sleep from sleeping on the coach with Malachi & him not resting well due to the pain. Even though the boys kept telling me that I'm "not too old" for this while we were skating ... I'm definitely feeling it today and thinking otherwise. I just love being a MOM!! WARNING: I may need to be reminded of this at times ... Ha!
