The boys had spent the past 4 days at the beach but I hadn't, so today was my day! We were all excited. The weather was glorious. We got there, the boys played, tried to get in the water but it was too cold. Then we decided to rent a Scurry..first problem, Ryder forgot his flip flops. That was o.k., we thought, because he couldn't reach the pedals anyways. He balanced his feet on the frame. But in true Ryder form, getting too excited and trying to stand up while we were pedaling, slipped and got his foot caught in the moving chain. Blood started pouring out as fast as the screams were coming from Ryder's mouth. The entire beach knew of our dilemma, Ryder was sure to that. I tried to calm him down but had no luck. We pedaled to our towels, I carried him to the chair, then hurried to return the bike {that we only rented 10 minutes ago}. We cleaned it with what little supplies we had..thankfully the bike people had a few bandaids and neosporin. We quickly packed up and headed home, where I was able to make a doctors appointment. The doctor was a waste of time. They gave me an antibiotic and said he needed to sit in the bath for it to get clean. What started off as a sunny, glorious day, quickly turned to gray!
