We spent the 4th of July weekend on the Pamlico River with our good friends Forrest and Elaine. (And their baby, Mackenzie. She's just about 8 months old.) A and C had a blast riding on the boat and even hopped into the tube for a slow ride with Daddy. I was definitely proud of them for being so brave!
Shortly after my turn on the tube, C wanted to swim with me, so she got into the water for some river play time. Daddy decided he was going to jump in and splash us and not 5 seconds after he jumped in something grabbed me! It was a jelly fish (the river is brackish water, so it wasn't unusual for jelly fish to be there) and it had wrapped it's way around my entire left leg. It hurt! I was screaming trying to get C away from me towards Daddy, while trying to get back to the boat as fast as possible. Once we were all in the boat, I had a chance to survey the damage on my leg. It wasn't that bad, but there were definite welts on my thigh and behind my knee. We headed home for some meds and I took it easy the rest of the day. I'm so thankful that it didn't get a hold of C. That surely would have meant a trip to the ER!
All in all, we had a fantastic weekend with our friends. It was good to see them for an extended amount of time. The girls certainly enjoyed playing with M, too!
