Some One On One Time

The Bridges . Roanoke
The stage for "Dr. Pepper Park" is just to the right of those stairs.

On the 4 of July we last minute decided to go see the Red Not Chili Peppers (that's right, I said NOT..they are a tribute band of the Red Hot Chili Peppers) at the Dr. Pepper Park. It was our first time seeing a show at this venue and we had a blast...the RNCP were great and I loved the open air and all the old abandoned warehouses around it, plus it was pretty cool that we were literally "under the bridge" when a thunderstorm rolled in with lightning and trust me, that wasn't lost on me when the Red Not's sang "Under The Bridge" haha...anyways....I wanted to come back and check out the area so today I did just that, with Braden:



Today I am thankful for my day spent with Braden! Dalton went to the water park for the day with his girlfriend and her family so it was just me and Braden. He wanted me to take him to Dick's Sporting Goods so he could pick up some stuff for football...then I took him to lunch at his favorite place Benny's for a slice of pizza. Then off to explore the area of the "Bridges". As "bored" as he may look, he was really a good sport and not once said "can we go home now?"! This was definitely a day to be thankful for! Linking up with Michelle's Thankful Thursday :)

I will get Willy Nilly up in the morning so I hope to see you then!

Plus I have lots more pics of this area to show!

During the week I take the boys to school early for weight lifting and on Wednesday they practice running routes for football. Well yesterday I get a call not too long after dropping them off. It's Dalton, "Mom don't worry but I think I dislocated or broke my thumb." I tell him to go to the nurse and let her look at it thinking he probably just jammed it. Another call a few minutes later that she wants him to go to the dr's. So I drive on over and pick him up and we head over to Express Family Care. They take x-rays and sure enough, it's broken. They set it in a temporary cast and now we wait for ortho to call for a sturdier cast. The Dr. was able to set it pretty straight and showed us another x-ray that looked so much better than when we came in!

Today I am thankful that it was nothing more serious and this is the first broken bone any of my kids have had! I am also thankful that the Dr. who was working there yesterday was also an ER Dr. and was pretty experienced in these types of things! Also thankful for the nice day (even if half of it was spent at the Dr's and the reason behind that) spent with Dalton. It's not often I get one on one time with any of them so I take it when I can get it! We ran over to Subway and picked up lunch afterwards then rented Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children which was pretty good!
