Bees!!!!!

Benjamin was stung by a bee for the first time last Wednesday. He was kicking a soccer ball in a field at park-day when his foot went on top of the ball and he fell down. His hand landed right on top of the bee.

It couldn't have happened on a worse day. That day I dropped off the car to get an oil change and some work done and then walked to the park. The car wasn't going to be ready until 12:30. At this point it was only 11:00. Our friends usually stay at the park until at least 12 but today everyone had to leave early. So Benjamin and I were left alone at the park, without a car, when he got stung.

I got the stinger out with a credit card and then walked a few blocks to a Taco Bell to get some ice and wait for Tom to come from work with some Benadryl and the camera. Lucky for us he didn't show any signs of being allergic. His finger swelled a little tiny bit but that was it. He cried until I got the stinger out and gave him some juice. What a trooper!!!
