Eastlake

Luke took the boys fishing at Eastlake a few weeks ago. It has now become the official "hangout" place for ALL of the guys in my family.
This is my absolute favorite picture of the boys right now. Sitting still for a long period of time doesn't usually happen with the boys.
Jake was the only one that caught a fish and Ben decided it was time to go swimming! Can you tell Ben is a little competitive!?!
The boys taking a rest and getting a snack!
Luke was suppose to go to a funeral on this day but overslept and wasn't able to make it to Johnson in time. He had the day off so he took the boys out to the lake. While he was there a teenage boy fell off a swing and snapped the bone in his arm. Long story short, Luke helped carry the boy to the back seat of his sisters car. He directed the sister to drive the car to the hospital (safely) and the foreign exchange student make the phone calls so the sister could concentrate on driving. He put the boy in the backseat, showed him how to hold his arm and told him to think of a relaxing place. Our boys said they recognized the boy from church after the kids left for the hospital. However, the boys still get people mixed up! The boys prayed that night for the boy at the lake.
Then, last Sunday I was at church and saw a teenage boy with both arms in a cast....I asked him what happened and he said he fell off of a swing at the lake. I explained that I thought maybe my husband helped him and he got so excited. His sister and the exchange student turned around fitting Luke's description. The boy said "Where is your husband I want to give him a big hug!" Luke was working but I told the boy I would tell Luke that we had talked...
It ends up the boy is the son of the office manager at our church. It is a small world.
All of those years of CPR/First Aid training at Westar paid off.
GOD is AWESOME!
