Tickle Machine & The Beach

Tuesday Anna went to Dr. Mankin to have her cast removed! It was a great day, no more squeezing into shirts and wrapping the cast so it won't get wet! Anna was excited, although she didn't really know what to expect. They use a machine "the tickle machine" to cut through the cast and it just slides off, Anna giggled and laughed the whole time the nurse was cutting it off. The doctor came in and said her arm looked good and only time will tell if it is healed. She still has to be careful with that arm, but as of now hopefully the bones have caught up in their growth and the tendon has "tightened" up so her elbow won't "pop" out anymore! She is now realizing she was dependant on her cast when she fell down and soon realized she can't do it anymore! Right after her appointment we left to go to the beach with my parents and brother Josh. We had a good time playing in the pools (indoor and outdoor) and walking along the beach! The water was still pretty cold and the girls would only go in to about their knees! We had to watch Lizzy because she loves the water and ran full speed at the ocean when she saw it! She would also just walk into the pool if we would let her! Anna loves the water too, a little more leery, but wanted her life vest off immediately when she got in the pool and for us to let her go in the water. Emma was not liking the pool, for some reason she has become scared to get in over her head, the girl who has taken swim lessons since she was old enough to (at least 3 times). I took some pictures, but I'm still having to borrow my moms camera cord, so I'll get the pictures on here soon!
