Marshmallows and a bee

We have roasted a lot of marshmallows in our backyard this summer... they are so good! Last weekend we invited our neighbor over and sat down to enjoy some, when Maddie walked into a bee?! It stung her right on her fourth finger, and she quickly recovered, but her hand ballooned over the next couple of days! Like always- we debate back and forth:

1. Should we take her in?
2. Will they be able to do anything?
3. (Sadly we think) How much is the bill going to be? (With 2K for our last 911 call- it's on our mind!)

Steve is so lucky to work with a doctor and we don't call on him too much, but this time we did- and we nicely wrote a prescription for some steroids to reduce the swelling. Thanks C!!!

I love opening our backdoors at night...



 Both Maddie and Emi are getting really good and toasting...

 And Exhibit A:
 This picture doesn't look as bad as it was in person. I felt so bad for her, and everyone kept on looking at me sideways like I was crazy I hadn't taken her in- but there is nothing you can really do! I think we definitely will look into getting an epipen next time we go in, because after 3-4 bee stings, this girl might be growing an extreme allergy!!

Wowzers! #1 love the marshmallow pit #2 that is one awesome looking hand. Glad she is ok. Andrew got stung at Lemos Farm on his eyelid and it ballooned up like crazy too. Bees are insane. An epipen is a great idea.

What a fun mom you are! Love reading about your summer adventures. We need to hang out again soon.
