Alex decided to join some friends at the high school football game. He evidently took off running down the hill (we live minutes from the school) and quickly noticed that his shoe lace was untied. He said he was about to stop to tie it when instead he tripped and fell. To make matters worse they have completely torn up our road (down to dirt right now while they regrade). He was back at the house in minutes with blood dripping down both knees and both palms. The biggest bandages we had in the house were old eye patches so we made do.
