Actually, it's a secret, but Clare is training with the NHL. She'll go pro next year. :)

The Terrible Two-Tooth Tumble
July 6th, 2010. Clare was climbing head-first off our bed, and to get down on the floor, she brought her knees in and socked herself in the mouth with her knees. The bottom tooth was really loose and that got knocked totally out. The top tooth was just getting loose and was only knocked partially out. Toby was teaching night class (thankfully, or the sight of all the blood probably would've made him pass out, and then I would've really had my hands full), and I had no idea what to do. Is it a doctor issue? ER? I knew dentist offices were closed. After a call to a pediatrician friend, her own pediatrician, and her pedontist, the pedontist talked me through it and scheduled her for an emergency appointment first thing the next morning. The dentist had to end up pulling the top tooth. Clare was such a trooper through the whole thing! The toothfairy came twice in 2 days.

Turkey Run State Park
We stayed at Turkey Run State Park in Marshall, IN at Turkey Run Inn. This area has 39 well-preserved covered bridges. The Inn was built in 1919. We really enjoyed it.
A Jurassic Park pinball machine in the arcade. She couldn't have been happier.
Clare, who first saw me putting Jenga together said, "ugh, this is going to be BORING". Little did she know, it'd become a favorite! The big "den" at the Inn had it to play.
Some game time after dinner and swimming.
Covered bridge, which you could not drive on, but it was fun walking through.
Outside the window of the bridge.
A spooky drive through the next one!

The Inn at night. 4th of July Weekend in Angola, IN
We went to Angola, IN for the weekend. We saw Toby's mom, Pat, and Stepdad, Mel, and Toby's brother Tyler and his family. We had good swimming, good fun, good food, and good company.

Mmmmmm....ice cream.
A trip to Tom's Donuts; they are too good.
A stop at Sam's for a Mose Hopper. Clare has a MOSEtasche.

Fish Folly
July 3, 2010
Clare told everyone that she was going to fish out of Grandma Pat's "pond". She announced, "I'm going to go fishing. Catch and release, that is."

Beach Blabber
July 3, 2010
Clare told the kids at the beach, "I'm 5. My dad is 45. He could be a grandpa right now, but he's not; he's my dad." Looks like sunblock blocks everything but the mouth.
