A fun and dangerous family get together

 Bryce's family (dad, mother in law, sister, another sister, brother in law, 2 kids and 2 dogs) came to visit us for a weekend. We made 3 batches of cookies, 2 batches of muffins, and a double batch of spaghetti and meatballs in preparation for their arrival. We were worried about space and keeping everyon happy but the weather was great and we had a fabulous time.
 But, the first morning one of the dogs escaped. While Gary was chasing after him he fell on his face on the sidewalk. He came back with the dog and a bloody face. He had to get 7 stitches. Tessa and Hathaway ran into each other on bikes and smashed Hathaway's finger. She cried all night in pain and it was swollen and bruised. We worried it was broken but thanks to a pediatric consult with our good friend at church, it was determined that it was just a bad bruise. Sunday we went for a walk at some gardens. Right before we left, Tessa ran right into a tree. Blood started spurting from her eye. We took her to urgent care where she got her eyebrow glued.
But, we still had lots of fun! And who will forget this weekend?
