Did you know that trees jump out and get you!!

While on my way home yesterday from work, just as I was turning off of SR36 in Stansbury to come home, my cell phone rings, it was a 435-884 number (a gville number). It was 3:30 and I thought who is this?? I answer and it was Carol at Grantsville Elementry. She says to me "Krysten we have Ryan here in the office and he ran into a tree and cut himself pretty good and he is going to need some stiches." I then ask her where is he hurt, she tells me his head, right above his right eye. - Now school gets out at 3:30 - Apparently, while running to get to the bus, this tree on the front lawn of the school, jumps out of no where and attacked Ryan. Wacked him real good just one time!
Ryan tells a different story, while running to the bus stop, his freind Brayden says Hi Ryan, he says Hi back and looks at something Brayden was doing, and the next thing he knows he ran into the tree. He then stops and his other freind AJ says to him "dude your bleeding" Ryan asked him "is it just a stratch?" and then AJ says "NO it is a Gash". AJ then helps Ryan to the office. And then they call me.

I go straight to the school and by the time I got there, the principle Mr. Wyatt had butterflyed it up and they had ice on it. We get Ryan loaded up in the car, run home and get Leo, who cant drive because he had LASIK done just 24 hours before, and go up to the hospital for stiches. We were at the hospital about 2 hours, the Tooele hospital is sooo slow, only one Dr. on staff on a Friday afternoon. We get back home about 6:30, go get Aynsley from Gramma's house. Thank goodness gramma live so close, and could watch her after dance for us!
Here are some pictures - I took them with my cell phone so the quality is not the best - we have a nice shiner and tree marks - but we are OK, the tree well, it is basking in it glory today! Having won the battle with Ryan!

Wow! I looks like it was a pretty good size tree branch. Kids always keep us on our feet though. Hope the scar is a cool one and we hope Ryan is feeling better soon! Leo too!

Welcome to the club, pal! Only really cool people have scars above their right eye! Of course, I don't get to say that a tree attacked me. I fell and hit the tailgate of Papa's truck. If I had only been two inches taller I never would have missed that garage door I was jumping for...

Love ya,
Bub
