On Thursday I went to Delta (Thank you, Grandma Crane, for going with me!) to pick Jumble up from band camp. She had committed to help our neighbor with a catering job for a wedding reception that evening so I had to pick her up a little early. She had a great time and chattered excitably non-stop for the first 45 minutes of the trip home--then she crashed--and it was hard to wake her up when we got home. She got sunburned the first day because her bag with the sunscreen in it didn't arrive in Delta until after they had started marching. We didn't realize she needed to have it on before she arrived on Monday morning. You can't even tell in the photo how burned she got, but now she is peeling like crazy. If you look at the back of her neck, you can see how dark of a line she has from all the sun on her neck. She also lost her chapstick so her lips were cracked and swollen. After she got home from her catering job that night, we discovered that both of her feet and ankles were really swollen. The photos above were taken on Friday evening, when the swelling had already gone down a little. It looked like she had sprained both ankles. You could hardly see her ankle bone at all. You can see how tan her legs got as well! She also has a nice bruise from when someone accidentally stepped on her when they were marching backwards. So she looked pretty banged up but she was happy! One small miracle, she reports that her arm didn't get sore at all--lugging around that big bass clarinet--which is at least 3 times heavier than the B flat clarinet that she is accustomed to!
