Camping Final

Friday after all the hands drama, Daddy showed up and it was a huge relief to me. Once Drew woke up from his drug induced nap, he was busy telling Dave about the campfire and how "it's hot", and you have to "be careful". It was really adorable, but a hard lesson for him to learn. I think it did sink in finally though.

On Friday we were just kind of low key after the ER visit. Everyone else went and walked through Jackson while Grammy, and I were at the hospital attending to Drew. That evening there were some horseshoes, and just a campfire.

Saturday however, everyone had recovered from the "excitement" and we stared the day out with a morning fire. Drew was happy to help Daddy get it started - from a safe distance of course.


We also continued with our plan to go vertical wine tasting at our new favorite winery - CG Di Arie. They were tasting their 2003, 2004 and 2005 Zinfandel. YUMMY. We were able to have "private" tastings with the wine maker, who also is the creator of Captain Crunch & Hidden Valley Ranch.


The wine maker is the one in the hat.

We did visit one other winery - where this candid of Drew and I was snapped (felt like this was a Daddy photo heavy blog hehe)


For Drew this was a different type of camping trip. He was able to watch a TON of movies, where we don't usually allow them except for setting up, tearing down or right before bed. But we had to find something for the poor kid to do that wouldn't involve his hands or getting dirty.

Adrina was a real sport with him, and was extremely patient. Although I'm sure she was bored when Drew couldn't do much with her.

The guys on the other hand, kept up tradition and played horseshoes. I hear Dave really creamed Uncle Matt!



Update on Drew's hands. Per the pediatrician's orders we no longer have to change the bandages everyday, however we did last night because one of the bandages was falling off (he's peeking his left pointer through to do more stuff with his hands). Every fingertip on his right hand is about 2-3 times its regular size with blisters. I think they should be ready to pop soon, which is good.

Drew is doing his best to keep up with the kids and continue to play even if he only has a pair of thumbs to use. He's doing puzzles, playing with his cars and throwing balls around. You'd never know he was hurt - except for the obvious white gloves.
