4th of July
For 4th of July we went to Cumberland Falls, KY. It was cool to have a family reunion for the first time in 5 years. Three Stumpfs weren't even born then. Some memorable events:
#1- Teddy vs. Bug. On a short hike around the picnic grounds, Teddy got a bug stuck in his ear. It got really deep into his ear canal and was buzzing right next to his eardrum. That's one of those things that I'de rather break another toe than have happen to me. Anyway, my dad drove him back to the cabin where they flushed out his ear. The bug died right away, but it wouldn't come out. We thought we were going to have to take him to the hospital. But eventually, it came out and everything was ok.
#2- The Dark and Story Afternoon. On Sunday, the 5th, I went on a 45 minute trail ride with my Aunt Nan, my dad, and Meghan. All day the skies had been gray and threating to dump on us, but so far everything was has been limited to a drizzle. We had literally mounted up when it began to pour. There was one flash of lightning so big that it made those bombproof horses jump. But the ride went on, and we arrived back at the stable looking like drowned people. I was just glad I didn't bring my camera.
#3- The Round Trip. Both going to and leaving the state park had some adventures. The highlight of the "to" trip was when we stopped at McDonalds. As we were going to pile back into our stuffed van, the door handle broke. So, we simply climbed in the back doors, over my 6,000 pages of reading material, and into our seats. On the "from" trip, nothing quite so fun happened, except we were stuck in traffic for an hour and we couldn't find the Ikea.
It was a fun vacation. The scenery was beautiful and I might have taken some decent pictures. I'll go through them and post them later. Right now I have to go babysit, but I'll write more later.
