The day once again started with FlowRider lessons as Isaac really wanted to do them again and was willing to pay for his portion. He didn't have to twist Ben's arm too hard and Joshua joined too. The teachers weren't as good, but they still had some good rides. Joshua had a fun time, but a few extra pounds would have helped him out.
The park opened and we all did a few last rides. We probably spent 1-1.5 hours finishing up. We weren't in a hurry, but we didn't want to drag our feet too much either.
After changing, we went back to Tom Foolery's. The rock climbing line wasn't too long, so I did that with Isaac. Oh boy! I could tell I didn't have the right type of shoes! We raced to the top the first time and pretty much tied, but he was on a harder route. I did my route one more time and then I was good. It was fun but not as much fun as I had been expecting. We did a few other games, finished up the money on the arcade card, and went to the store. Overall, we ended up with a lot more tickets than I had been expecting. Ben carefully chose a luck game on Tuesday and some of the games gave us quite a few because they were skill based instead of luck based. We walked around a bit, but ended up with a pyramid rubrix cube and a stuffed cat in a coffee cup. Honestly, Ben and I weren't thrilled with the cat but Joshua had his heart set on it and it was the right number of tickets. (Spoiler: Catcachinno has become a beloved member of the family. Every night he tells me that his bad part was not being able to drink some drink. His good part varies a bit, but defaults to a drink that he did get to drink.)
And then we started home. We had a small (10min?) detour when my phone decided that we wanted to take the ferry, but Ben caught it quickly. Also around this time Ben noticed one of his toes starting to turn black and blue. On the Flow Rider, at some unknown point, he stubbed his toe hard. By the time we left the water park he couldn't wiggle his toes. On the way home we decided to call the phone nurse, who of course told us to go to the ER. (I'm not sure why we call the phone nurse anymore. They always tell me to come in. Also, we were going to get into town about 30 minutes after all the urgent care places closed.) Long story short, I dropped him off at the Holland ER on the way into town. They confirmed the break but were otherwise rather unhelpful. Ben went to a specialist the next day who mostly said just walk on your heel for a while. Ben doesn't have any boots or tape or anything like that, he just needs to walk carefully.
Even with the toe, it was an excellent vacation and we all really enjoyed it.
