You're lucky I didn't see this until now, or I probably would have taken you up on it! I was hurting really bad. The headache got worse after I posted. I did end up in tears. DH and the kids jumped into action and got the craft project prepared for me and helped me get the bikes and things into the car. I tried everything we could think of to get the headache to ease. I drank three glasses of orange juice, took a vitamin C, ate a banana, ate some salted pretzels, took 2 Tylenol and laid down for an hour and a half. Thankfully, it eased some. I still had a headache at the meeting, but not so bad that I couldn't stand up like it had been.
We did a bike safety night, and talked about our Webelos boy who was hit by the car. This was our first Den meeting after summer and many of the kids had no idea he had been hit. Some of them did, and they were able to express their thoughts about it. We played games and learned the bike hand signals, how to read stop and yield signs, traffic lights, pedestrian lights, etc. They learned about helmets and where they could get them for free if they couldn't afford them. They learned how to pump up tires, got to practice pumping them up, and they learned how to tighten bolts on the bikes. Plus, we were able to send one of our older bikes home with a boy who did not have one. He was pretty excited.
So, despite the headache, it was a really good evening. The boys said they had fun, and that's what it's all about.
