1. My uncle Gary fell off his bike while riding about 17 mph on a bike trail on Saturday morning (our first full day, went to the ER and found out that he broke his elbow/arm in 3 places. He went back to DBQ for surgery on Sunday and came back on Monday. What a trooper!!!
2. My nephew, Daniel (2.5 years old), was floating away from our resort....literally! (He had his lifejacket on...but I jumped in and swam to save him!) He rolled from his back to front to back on my way swimming to him!
3. Again....my nephew Daniel got "HOOKED" with a fish hook in his nose and had to go to the ER to get it removed! His brother Benjamin was casting and the rest is history!
