Friday: another new hike

 We went blueberry picking today, but the season is getting close to the end and the picking wasn't as good.  It was a bit disappointing since store-bought blueberries are rarely as good.  We have some though.

Then we went on a small hike with Cheryl.  We explored a new trail.  It was this crazy small trail and the trail head had a really small sign and parking was just some squished weeds in front of it on the road.  (It was obvious that it was a place cars parked though.)  Anyway, I loved the place.  It wasn't a long hike, but we saw lots of mushrooms and some bat houses and we were in the woods.


The only other excitement of the day was when Isaac slammed Joshua's head into a corner of the wall.  Joshua was so nice about it and the first thing he said to me was that it was an accident.  Anyway, it swelled up nicely and Joshua went to lay on the couch.  And proceeded to lay still for the next ten minutes.  Then he almost fell asleep.  While he only had one sign of a concussion, the phone nurse recommended that we get it checked out.  We went to urgent care.  By the time we got there Joshua was closer to his normal self but we went in anyway.  Long story short he may have had a very mild concussion but the only thing we really need to do is keep him away from activities that could further hurt his head.  So no wrestling or traps for a week or so.  Joshua's a bit bummed about the traps, but it doesn't make a huge difference in his life.
