A day at the park

So things are good here. I just thought I would ive you a story.
Gabe gave me a great scare yesterday. He and two other boys (both about eight and bigger) tried to do the zip line at the park as a group. From what I hear it was going well until Caleb came running, tripped and knocked into them. At this time they all tumbled about 6 feet. Still not to bad, right. Here is the problem Gabe landed at the bottom on his back with the two bigger boys on top of his chest and stomach. Now normally Gabe would hide out for about 5 - 10 min behind a tree or something so as not to let anyone see him hurt, then jump up and be right back at it. Not the case and this is what worried his mother. I had to pick him up, he wrapped his arms and legs around me and did not move or speak but a mumble or two for almost and hour. His head was turned toward my friend Annette and she kept a close eye on him. After that he said he was O.K. and went off to play. I started to relax a little and just keep an eye on him. Then I noticed he was playing alone, running slowly, and putting his arm across his chest every so often. My friends said to let it go for a little longer and just watch him. Over the next couple of hours he returned to normal and seems completely fine today.
That kid is going to age me! He has become quite a daredevil. Caleb is going to give lines all over my face caused by his DRAMA and Gabe is going to turn me gray with is flying off of things.

Update: Still No Earthquake...

... but some decent pictures!
