Logan's Guardian Angel

Logan is blessed with the best Guardian Angel ! Wednesday night Steve was mowing the yard. He was mowing the narrow strip in front the house at the top of the steep hill. He shut down the mower and went to help Lucas (who got a fishing hook stuck in his leg. Superficial...he was totally okay). While Steve was helping Lucas, Logan decided to hop on the mower. When he jump on he accidentally knocked the mower out of gear and into neutral. The mower and Logan began the scary journey backward, diagonally down the hill. The mower crashed into the bottom of the hill throwing Logan off. The mower flipped up backward and fell on it's side on top of Logan's leg. Steve sprinted down the hill and got the mower off of Logan. Aside from a small knot on the back of his head and scrapes around his eye, knees and ankle...Logan was perfectly fine. It scared the #!$@ out of Logan and Steve. I got home from work just in time to witness Steve dragging the mower up the street with a chain hooked on to the front of the Yukon. Needless to say Logan could have gotten very hurt but thanks to his guardian angel that wasn't the case! He felt really bad about breaking the lawn tractor...which was the least of our concerns. All of the boys learned a huge lesson about the mower (and cars) that day. Logan is hoping his eye heals by Monday so he doesn't have to tell anyone what happened...well, except he'll tell Connor.

Thanks to our neighbor, Leahman, the steering column is fixed and the front wheels know point in the same direction. Mower will be back to normal once Steve figures out how the level out the mulching deck.
