4th of July with the Buckalews





One of the first things I have to say is never have surgery around a holiday. On the 2nd of July I underwent ACL replacement. A few months back I had injured my knee and in order to be fully functional for school I needed to have the surgery over the summer. I WILL NEVER DO THAT AGAIN! That off my chest, I will begin to tell you about the 4th with Jake and Maddie. The morning starts out with a bunch of activities in our subdivision. They have a fishing contest, a basketball contest, a parade, etc. Jake, Greg and Maddie went down to watch the fishing contest and basketball contest but after that Maddie needed a nap. So Jake and Greg decided that Jake was going to enter the bike parade. They went to the store and bought a bunch of 4th of July stuff and decorated his bike. Jake was a little cranky and unfortunately when he took 3rd place he was pouting but otherwise it was a good morning. Later that night they shot off fireworks over the lake and everyone had a great time, except for me.....the only thing I remember is pain and percocet.
