Here in our little world, we had a busy weekend complete with a 5k run/walk (in which, we neither ran nor walked). We got caught up in the other activities and THEN, we received a phone call from my mom saying that my dad had been in a car accident (less than 2 miles down the road from where we were). I'll spare the suspense by saying that my dad is okay after an overnight stay in the hospital.
While he was driving, someone pulled out of their driveway right into my dad! My dad was traveling at about 35mph so it was a good whack. Say what you will about Toyota, but the airbag and front end of his little Corolla totally did the job of protecting my dad. He actually got out of the car (he saw smoke and wasn't sure if it was the airbag or something else).
His chest is VERY sore from the airbag impact and he has a couple scrapes on his legs...but other than that, he is FINE! Because he has heart issues, they kept him overnight at the hospital to observe his heart and insure that he didn't suffer heart damage (aka, a heart attack) due to the stress of the accident.
I am so, so relieved that my Dad is okay :) If you are one of my FB friends, then you already knew the gist of this.
In other news, we went to Tyler Arboretum today and had a blast with the kids!! They currently have an exhibit called "Terrific Treehouses" which I have heard so much about. We have a membership and will definitely be going back because it was a great family spot. A few photos for your viewing pleasure...

We loved Tyler when we went a few years ago...you are reminding me that we need to go again.
Glad your dad is okay...scary.
Awesome way to spend a day! Make sure to take advantage of the reciprical benefits with other gardens - Morris Arboretum has a great train display, the Camden's Children's Garden is a good day trip and Winterthur has a cool kid's area! We'd love to meet you at Tyler some day!
