Sorry - this post comes to you a day late as I was at the ER when it was "website" time :)

Wednesday – we were the finishing up some old projects today and also starting new ones.  More painting, some weeding, and other odd jobs.  In the afternoon we got the opportunity to go out on a boat and do some swimming further out on the lake.  We went in 3 smaller groups…and only did about 1 hour per group – but had LOTS of fun.  After work (we still worked in the afternoon…we just took breaks to go on the boat) we loaded up and headed over the dam to a public swimming area of the lake.  We had been in the lake about 2 minutes when someone slipped on a rock and got a rather deep cut under his big toe! So…Mindy (and her trusty helpers – Katie N, Evan, Emilie, and Flor) headed to the closest urgent care facility (30 miles away – on a curvy back road) to get Patrick’s toe sewn up.  We arrived at the urgent care like 5 minutes after the closed – GRR!  So we went up the road to the ER.  The Tahlequa City Hospital ER was actually very nice and pretty speedy.  Patrick is all fixed up now and it looks like he is going to be able to keep the toe! ;) Update:  Darby (who hurt her big toe on Tuesday) is doing fine and her toe is healing nicely.  It was a rough couple of days for big toes around here.  Little Katy even fell off a horse (AKA Lindsey – her pretend horse who was giving her a ride) and hit her eye…and now has a huge shiner!

Besides our few injuries…we all seemed to be doing very well and are ready to work again on Thursday – our last day of work at the Boys Ranch.
