Busch Gardens and Wyatt's First Stitches

We have had the best weather this year it hasn't been too hot so far and we have had really nice breezes.  It seemed to be the perfect day to take advantage of our Annual Passes this year and head out to Busch Gardens.

Here is a giant owl, Wyatt told the owl that he was in Owls class this fall- I am thinking the bird was impressed:

 Daddy, Uncle John, and Aunt Maggie got on the new rollercoaster the Griffin.  It was pretty outstanding looking and it holds a lot of people too.

 Wyatt and William goofing around:

 A cute pair!

This is the last picture of Wyatt with a clear forehead:

A gross alert warning- the picture after this one is a little gross- you have been warned-LOL!!

So you see the rocks that this Verbolten car crashed into?  Well just in front of the car there are some jagged rocks and Wyatt tripped and fell face first into the rocks.  He bled a lot but they contact the emergency people from Busch Gardens and after the emergency response person cleaned off the blood on Wyatt's forehead she saw that there were two pretty deep cuts and had a park emergency vehicle meets us behind the Oktoberfest building and transfer us to the medical building. The nurse at the medical building cleaned Wyatt's forehead again and applied steristrips with glue as a stitch to hold the cuts together.  Because the cuts were pretty deep she recommended that we take Wyatt to see a doctor at the hospital to make sure that he didn't need any additional stitches.

  Here is Wyatt in the hospital emergency room with the steristrips.  We left Busch Gardens and since the nurse said the strip she put on there could hold them for at least a few hours we decided to go to the hospital near our home.  Apparently lots of kids had fallen and hurt their heads on that day and so we had a pretty long wait.  This was the first time we had to wait that long for a child in that hospital but it turned out to be good we waited so long.  Several hours later we were brought to a room in the emergency center and they turned on some cartoons for Wyatt to watch.  When the doctor came in she cleaned off the steristrips and cleaned the area really really well.  At first she thought she may have to do additional stitching but at second glance she noticed that Wyatt's forehead was already starting to heal (thanks to our extra long wait time) so she applied another set of steristrips and really held the cuts closed.  Wyatt was a huge trooper and did such a great job.  The doctor also must have known what Wyatt likes because she gave him a bunch of bandaids to keep over his steristrips- Captain America, Wolverine, and Angry Birds bandaids- what a lucky guy!

Here he is back in bed, "all warmy and toasty" as Wyatt would say, with his cool angry birds bandaid and a big old smile on his brave boy face:
