Well...as some of you know, Nick past away early Friday morning. (Sorry for the delay in posting.) Here is the follow up from Fox 9 News:

About 15 minutes ago our doorbell rang and it was our neighbor Kara, and she was in tears. She asked if I could call my "prayer chain" and ask for prayer for her friend Nick. He lives a few homes from us and is over at Kara's often playing with her dog Bella. I've talked with him a couple times but don't know him very well. Anyway, Monday night a boy was involved in a hit and run accident and I just found out that boy was Nick. He was hit very close to where we live. (You can see our townhome complex in the background of the news report.)
Here is what Fox News reported:
SHAKOPEE, Minn. -- An 11-year-old boy is in the hospital after he was struck by a truck in a hit and run accident Monday night.
Nick Hagadorn was biking home during the Monday night thunderstorm. The child was hit while riding his bike near the intersection of 17th Avenue East and Marschall Road South in Shakopee around 8:30 p.m.
The police officer on scene reported that the child was unresponsive and not breathing. He was critically injured in the crash.
Hagadorn was airlifted to St. Francis Regional Hospital and suffered a torn aortic valve. He underwent surgery.
The driver of the truck, a 40-year-old Prior Lake man, left the scene, but was arrested shortly after. He was in jail Tuesday, booked on three traffic violations. Several witnesses saw Randal Joseph Hennes leave the scene. He is awaiting charges at the Scott County Jail.
The driver has one prior conviction for drunk driving on his record.
The Minn. State Patrol is reconstructing the accident.

I hope your enjoying your Independence weekend!

I have always loved Dinosaurs. When Jurassic Park was released, my dad took my brother and I to see the 10:00 pm showing opening night, (I won't embarrass my brother by telling you he ended up sleeping in my room that night because he was afraid of the raptors...oops.) and I ended up seeing it six more times in the theater. Anyway, when I saw this on YouTube, my love of Dinosaurs emerged once again.
I would LOVE to have that costume! Any authentic Star Wars costume now pales in comparison to that one.
(Erin, if you get me that costume for Christmas, you can count it against all future birthdays and Christmas' and I will never ask for anything ever again...or at least for a while.) ;)
