Ethan hates camping & Thomas gets injured

Our summer began in a rush. Thomas' right hand was crushed by a heavy dresser. We didn't even know he was injured until Kyra asked, "What's that?" and pointed to splashes of blood across our double glass doors and porch. He wouldn't let me see his injury. Insisted on going to work. Refused to go to the E.R. That night, I finally saw that the fingernail on his third finger had actually been torn out from underneath his flesh. The fourth finger nail looked swollen too with blood pooling beneath the nail bed. We were supposed to go camping the next day. So on the way to the campsite, I drove him to the E.R. As it turns out, he broke the bone in the tip of his finger. The bone had actually punctured through his flesh and nail. (He will need surgery on June 11 even though he still denies that he is hurt).

These videos pretty much sum up how Ethan felt about the whole camping experience.
