Trip to Memphis

Michelle and I had this wonderful experience today.  We had the opportunity to be able to take some kids to Memphis this evening to LeBoneur hospital so that they could see their friend Clayton who in the hospital there after a bad ATV accident.  Clayton is in Lexi’s class at school.  It was a bad accident and Clayton was air lifted to Memphis.  There are 3 girls and 2 boys in the van with us now.  All of them are 12 years old and it is never a dull moment.  I have heard some stories, I tell you.  It can get loud at times too with all of them talking at the same time.

It has been fun though.  I am glad that Michelle came up with the idea to take some kids to see Clayton.  They were all pretty upset about Clayton’s accident.  She just thought of the kids and how good it would be great for them to be able to see him and make everyone feel better.  Michelle has thought of others as she always has.  She contacted the parents of the kids that wanted to go and made the arrangements and off we go.  Lexi is having a blast.  We left Allison and Bradley with my mother.

  I told Michelle when we stopped at McD’s on our way that I felt old and she asked why.  I told her that here you and I are and we are sitting at a table all by ourselves and 5 kids are sitting at a table together and we were responsible for them.  What a major responsibility it is to have someone else’s kid that you are making sure that they are staying safe.  We are enjoying it though and just love the kids.
