We were invited to an Elder's Quorum Ice Cream Social in the evening and the kids were so excited to go because it was being held at a house in our neighborhood. We haven't been to Elder's Quorum activities since Shelby and Caleb were little because Chris is in the High Priests Group, so we usually end up with the older folks who don't have any kids at a much more mellow social......so needless to say, this was exciting for our kids to go to! Of course there were lots of kids, lots of ice cream, and a trampoline in the backyard (where all the kids with their bowls of ice cream got sent so they wouldn't spill in the house) and well, it was a perfect recipe for disaster! Usually we don't let our kids jump on Sundays, but what do you do when everyone else is?!!! Besides, we had already broken our own rule and let them jump earlier with their cousins since it was a special occasion. Anyway, Joshua got pushed when he was getting off the trampoline and ended up breaking both bones in his arm, the ulna and the radius, near his wrist. We were lucky to have two orthopedic doctors there (one is a resident, the other is completing his fellowship), so he was well taken care of and splinted and sent off to the ER for x-rays.
Savannah is forever the sweet little sister, so this morning she brought down Joshua's chess set and said she was going to play with him. We all know she has no idea how to play or what the rules are, but she was happy to entertain him and he was even gracious and let her win!
So now we wait for the swelling to go down and then he can get a cast put on. We have decided that maybe we are too old for Elder's Quorum socials after all!

That stinks Joshua I hope your arm is feeling a little better. There is always a lesson to be learned.
I'm so sorry!! We've had that happen at our house too (except my daughter fell out of a tree) it's a long recovery!
I know i should not laugh but I did. Not because he broke his arm but because it was the whole sunday thing :0)
Sorry Joshua!!!
