I forgot to mention that on Sunday before we went to Soak City we had lunch at McDonalds. I drove to the usual one we go to but for some reason they were closed. So we went over to the nearest one and had our lunch. The night before Josh didn't eat very much dinner so he got busy eating. He scarfed downed the chicken nuggets right away and was working on his fries when Hector pretended to eat Josh's fries. Josh turned his back on Hector trying to block him from grabbing the french fries and even laid his hand on top on them so none would escape or get stolen.
Meanwhile, Tyler and I were sitting there looking out the window and I saw a man appear outside on the sidewalk. He was in his 40's or 50's and it looked like he was unsteady as he stepped onto the grass. I even mentioned it to Hector because it looked like he was going to fall. The man was at the edge of the curb and from my view he was looking to his left to cross the street which is very busy, about 3 lanes on each side and he didn't bother to walk another 50 feet to the street light. He was swaying looking/ checking when he decides to cross, steps off the curb and falls face forward! The man managed to flip over but he was clearly in trouble....he couldn't get up. Hector and another lady ran out there to help him up and get him back on the street. They were talking to him and it appeared that he had some kind of movement disorder. I was still inside watching the kids for about 10 more minutes and bought them ice cream to keep them busy. Hector called 911 and a firetruck and ambulance arrived. Hector described what happened and later said that the man had problems talking but he had a cell phone so hopefully the hospital will be able to straighten everything out.
It was kind of scary just because he could have fallen anywhere and got hit by a car but thankfully there were no cars coming toward him at the time.
