BURNT FEET

SUNDAY, MAY 31, 2009 Yesterday Judy and I went to Highland Gardens in American Fork and bought hanging baskets, plants for the garden, a sprinkler for the hose a wind chime and a Sheppard’s hook for the hanging plants. Niki, Alexa and Gavin showed up after we had picked out what we were getting. They looked around a bit then we left for IHOP to eat. Corey, Jayden and Bailey as well as Jim met us for Lunch. It was noon but Judy and I had breakfast food. Corey got a burger. I don’t know what Niki ate but Gavin had a grilled cheese sandwich. Jim was in a hurry to get downtown for Austin and Molly’s dance recital so they put a rush on his chicken sandwich and he left well before the rest of us. While we were at the garden shop, Gavin wanted to get down and walk. He still walks while holding on to your hand. I walked him at first then, after my back was killing me, Judy took over. They walked from the main greenhouse where the annuals are to the area where the shrubs are. When they walked back into the annuals area they walked across a metal plate. It was in the direct sunlight and hot and Gavin was barefoot. When he stepped on the metal plate he screamed bloody murder. His feet were red and it took quite a while before he quieted down. Poor little kid! After we got home, I spent the rest of the day planting flowers and cleaning the back patio the stairwell etc. I'm sure Gavin is fine--he seemed to be!
