At first I wasn't going to participate in Debbie's Think-Back Thursday meme this week because I couldn't think of any bridge pictures off the top of my head. When I saw her post this morning, I started thinking that I had some family pictures taken near a bridge at Manassas Battlefield. I wasn't that impressed with them when I found them; I couldn't really tell that it was a bridge.
Instead, I found a bunch of pictures from a camping trip with friends in August 2008. I had completely forgotten about our afternoon exploring the paths on the other side of this bridge.
I can't remember which of Lauren's broken arms this was, but I do remember that the cast didn't slow her down.
Family photo opportunity:
And then the rest of the story...
I don't remember exactly how it happened. You can see Lauren with her pacifier in the first picture, and I must've taken it away from her for the family shot. One of the next pictures shows it in the water below.
Big sister to the rescue!
Thank you, Debbie, for your photo meme that encourages me to go back a few years and relive some precious memories. You can find more pictures by clicking on her button below.
Great pictures and great story. I am so glad you found something to post. Love the photos on the bridge. I have a kid or 2 that would have been nervous to go across that wooden bridge.
ReplyDeleteMy now 18 year old son lost his pacifier on a vacation we took to Virginia and Maryland. My hubby decided he could do without it and it was time to stop using them, he would not stop for a replacement. I remember the big fight we had and the terrible time we had with a sad, grumpy boy with no pacifier and the terrible night we had while he screamed in the hotel room because he didn't have a pacifier to help him fall asleep. I am glad your problem was solved by simply fishing it out of the water.
Thanks again for joining in. I love looking back also, that is one of the reasons I wanted to start this meme.
