It was a long but uneventful drive and we were all happy to see the hotel room. SP and J-man are very partial to hotels, if up to them we would stay in one weekly! SP particularly
J-man was in it for the pool
While poor Daddy was stuck in classes for 2 days the kids and I enjoyed exploring some local sites in CT and meeting up a wonderful friend and her family who made the drive down to enjoy some time together at Dinosaur State Park and lunch :D
A trip to CT wouldn't be complete without seeing Mystic Aquarium!
We had to contend with some wet weather, but we were armed with a trusty trash bag to keep SP's cast dry and overall it was a great visit!
complete with the non-needed stuffed animal souvenirs LOL
How can you argue with that smile?
And somehow to kill time we ended up at Chuck E Cheese, ugh! miles from home yet at Chuck E Cheese...the Pez Company wasn't open yet, so that's what I was stuck with.
the drive home was longer and filled with dreadful Friday traffic. I have no idea how the people in CT and Jersey deal with that on a daily/weekly basis.
The next week was cast appointment time! Yay! The xray showed healing so SP got to go to a smaller cast- yippee! Still no weight-bearing for at least 2 weeks on it.
We call this the watermelon cast
The new cast makes things a lot easier, SP has been able to use her walker more at home instead of relying on the wheelchair. Her poor leg is getting sooo skinny though :( I'm afraid what it will look like when she is completely done with casts.
Still hoping she will get 1.5 weeks out of a cast before school starts, but I'm not going to bet on it.
