Sailing Camp and Water Bottles

Colton and his buddy Ronan are enjoying their last week of sailing camp.  From what they tell me Colton somehow capsizes his boat daily and it is never really "his fault" and in order to get the water out of the boat two kids get to be pulled behind it like tubing and that is super fun.  Clearly there is a correlation.  This week Colton was chewing on one of those plastic rings to a water bottle and he laughed causing the plastic thing to get stuck in his throat, choke him and then eventually he swallowed it.  That was an interesting trip to the doctors office.  They basically looked down his throat to make sure it wasn't swelling and to gauge how sharp the plastic was.  It ended with the doctor telling Colton that what goes in must come out and to wait for it to pass naturally.  He also told Colton that "this is the stupid stuff men do, welcome to the club".

Never a dull moment.
