Onto the chocolate

After the cheese factory we decided to end our day at the Caillier chocolate factory in Broc. It had been redone since the last time we visited but one thing was the same. At the end of the tour there was a room full of chocolate and you could sample as many as you liked. I had to keep my eyes on the kids though. The last thing I needed was throwing up on the drive home.

Mmmmmmm, chocolate

After all of our chocolate eating we were super thirsty. While the kids were playing on the playground next to the cafeteria, Charlene and I were waiting in line to buy some water. About 2 minutes later, Tommy and Alex came rushing in shouting that Henry was hurt, followed by Ruby who was carrying him. There was blood all over the both of them.

Apparently, the older boys had been playing a little too rough with Henry and he had smashed his mouth into the playground equipment. His gums were bleeding pretty badly and one of his teeth was cracked in half. Unfortunately, it was almost 5pm and we were over an hour away from home. I knew by the time we got there my dentist's office would be closed.

Long story short, I got a hold of Pete in the States and he found an urgent care dentist that we rushed Henry to.

Henry was not happy about being there but he was pretty tough. The verdict: 2 teeth were broken and needed to come out. Ironically, they are the exact same teeth that Alex lost in Paris. He was too swollen to have it done that night so we made an appointment for the next day and Pete (fresh off of a flight from LA) took him in. Unfortunately, they could only remove one and a half of the teeth so now he is stuck with a little broken tooth.
