I fought the snowman, and the snowman won...

We went up to Old Man's Pass yesterday with the Cub Scouts. It was pretty empty until the afternoon. Nothing like it has been in the past. Overall the group had a great time. Austin decided he was going to play tackle to snowman, or something like that. Well a 2 1/2 foot snowman base that is almost solid ice doesn't move. Here is his damage...


It looks much worse today. After a trip to the E.R., the doctor saying we can't do an x-ray and she doesn't want to expose him to the radiation of a c.t. We will wait and go see his doctor tomorrow. He can't open his mouth very wide. He is on a soft food diet until he can. Tylenol and Motrin are not helping the pain very much. He is such a trooper. His new theme song is: "I fought the snowman and the snowman won" ;)

Rick - you didn't say a word about anyone getting hurt when you told me about the snow trip. I hope Austin is doing better. He has a great story to tell :) Boys gotta get their battlescars somewhere! ~mom
