Donkey Derby Days, More casts, and Swimming

James and I have both lived here most of our lives and have never made it to Donkey Derby Days in Cripple Creek.  It was so much fun!  Tons of kids activities for Syd and the parade was great.  Alex loved every single vehicle that went by, what a boy!



















We saw Alex's ortho dr today and he's scheduled for his tenotomy in 3 weeks.  So casting until surgery, 3 more weeks of casts and then we'll see what will be next.  The dr is hoping his heels will drop enough after surgery but said to be prepared for a second tenotomy. 
Instead of putting his casts back on today, his dr said that he'll be fine for a day, go do something fun-like swimming!  So we head over to Oma's house and jumped in!  Well, James and the kids did, someone had to man the cameras.  Syd loved it of course and Alex took a little while to figure out that it was fun.

  2. SO glad you got a day off from the casts! His feet look great! (looking at the last post too) You must be excited! Hoping only one tenotomy is needed.
