For a change of pace, and because the weather was gorgeous, I dragged KD all the way out to O'leno State Park this afternoon. He's only been seeing the hospital and home, and maybe a fun trip to the pharmacy once in a while. So doing something outside and in a different environment helped cheer him up a bit.

He got to jump on the suspension bridge. And pretend to push a big rotten tree into the water. And he found an inch worm and let it crawl all over him. He was irritated that I had the camera and kept snapping pictures of him so he grabbed the camera and tried to take a picture of both of us. Typical though, raised as a spoiled only-child, he managed to take a good picture of himself and part of my ear. It went down hill from there until he couldn't keep a straight face for a single picture. I have dozens of outtakes from that camera to upload, but the best one is below.

Tomorrow starts another four-day marathon of hospital days for shots and stuff. By Friday he'll probably be exhausted again. For now he's relaxed and rejuvenated by an afternoon outdoors. And of course, much better for laughing and goofing around with the camera...
