First Bee Sting

Yesterday my team had a picnic at Vasa Park in Bellevue.  It was for families so I brought the boys with me.  They had a blast!  There was a bounce house for them to play in, all kinds of food and games, a photo booth, a play ground.  Pretty much anything you can think of to keep two little boys entertained and content for hours!  At one point yesterday Corey walked away from me and not two seconds later I heard him screaming!  Any mother recognizes her own child's cry and I could tell that he was hurt.  He ran over to me holding his hand out.  He had gotten stung by a bee.  I pulled the stinger out and put some ice on it.  Fortunately one of the bartenders had a topical treatment called Stingeeze or something like that.  It helps take the sting out of it a little.  Within 10 minutes he was off playing again with no permanent injury.  His hand is pretty swollen today but I think it's just because of where the sting is.

For anyone who remembers Vasa park is actually the same park that Jamie had a bee fly into her soda and sting her lip at a Mutual travel picnic.  I guess we have come full circle!
