Austin's Accident

On Thursday, May 17, Austin got into a fight with a barbed-wire fence while on the back (or should I say side) of a dirtbike while visiting a friend. Apparently, he tried a small jump, lost control of the bike and slid along the wire, taking out a fence post in the process. He received a total of 48 stitches, mainly on his neck and upper shoulder. There was quite a large gash near his juggular but as you can see, all is well now. The parental heartbeats have returned to normal but we are discouraging any future excursions with the accursed wire. If you remember, Mason also had a run in last summer which resulted in 12 stitches to the top of his foot. It seems as though the barbed wire is destined to be the winner in all altercations!
