We Need a Break:)

Well I haven't forgotten about the blog, it has just been a crazy couple of weeks for the Huff household. I managed to get released from the hospital as you all know from the previous post. I returned to work the next day and began to feel better as each day passed. I was glad because my sister and I had planned a fun trip for my mom's 60th birthday (sorry mom if you don't want people knowing your age..too late now;) ). She wanted to go to Epcot and the Animal Kingdom since she hadn't been in ages. We made reservations at the Animal Kingdom Lodge, right on the Savannah so we could see all the animals...it was gorgeous! We left on Saturday and Clint was staying home with Maddy for the weekend. Gramma Nini and Grampa Henry were coming over to spend some time with Miss Madison while I was away (Gramma Nini's birthday was Tuesday, so it was a nice present for everyone!) Well, my mom, my sister and I arrived in Orlando, checked into the hotel and were at the Animal Kingdom waiting in line to get a locker when my phone rang. It was Clint, telling me that he and Madison had just been in a car accident on the way home from swim lessons. He told me his car was totaled and asked me to call his mom and Henry to come pick him up. NEED I SAY MORE?!?!?!?! The bottom line is that everyone is okay. Clint's car is in fact totaled, he has major bruising (it looks like he is permanently wearing a seatbelt of all colors) and Madison is just fine. It scared her to pieces as you can imagine...all she kept saying was "daddy's car is broken." Getta, Henry and Jeanine got to the scene and took great care of Maddy and Clint. I will be forever grateful! Between hospital stays and car accidents, we are done with challenges for awhile. We know that it could be a lot worse and are forever grateful that everyone is okay on all accounts. Thanks to everyone for their well wishes. On a positive note, the trip with my mom and sister was great. We laughed a lot and walked a lot too. It was nice to be able to spend time together even in the midst of craziness. Maddy had a BLAST with Nini and Henry, as always. They played catch and slapjack and rode bikes, among a million other things! I don't have many pics because my mom took most of them on the trip and Jeanine took all of the ones from their visit here. I hope you enjoy the couple that are posted. One is from a previous Naples visit...I thought it was cute of my sister, my cousin and me. Have a great week. More pics to come:)
