Joel has an accident

Today we rehearsed off-ice in the Sertich Ice Center lobby.

You see, the rink is going to be shut down shortly for its yearly maintenance, so we had the entire lobby to ourselves. DeeDee gave us the words to "The Naming of Cats." Rebekah memorized all the words by the time we got home!

Mommy had planned to teach Kelsey McKenna during the public session that followed, but that session was cancelled, so we rushed home to get ready to go to Pueblo to roller skate.

However, Joel had an accident, so we did not go roller skating in Pueblo.

This is what happened:

Joel was very, very excited because STAR WARS -- Revenge of the Sith was out and we were going as a family, on Monday, May 23rd (first show of the morning).

Anyway, he really wanted a Darth Vader Voice Changer toy and so, before going to Pueblo, Daddy took Joel to Target to buy the toy.

When Joel arrived home, he was so excited that he jumped out of the car before Daddy had completely stopped the car and the rear wheel ran over Joel's right foot's heel!

Terror!

Well, instead of spending the day happily roller skating, we ended up in the Memorial Hospital Emergency Room.

We are very thankful that Joel's foot was not hurt and only bruised. Well, child locks now are being used again!

We are wondering how Joel will do at the CATS rehearsal tomorrow since it is the first one ON ice!
