Perils at the park
Last week we went over to the Legend Crossing's park after school. I took the kid's scooters and a snack. Kyle met us there. Somehow it was a lot windier in that part of town but it was still really nice to be out. Jack fell and scraped his knee within minutes of being there and then did it again 20 minutes later. We ended up cutting it short anyway because Lillian had to use the bathroom at the no-bathroom park.
Yesterday we went down to Cameron Park. It was a beautiful day and I knew it was going to get cold for the next couple days. Wes loved playing on the huge playground. At one point he peered down the slide but then another kid came along so he took a step back to get out of the way. Well, wrong move Wes. There is a nice hole behind you in this spot with a ladder for kids to climb up and into. So he fell right through and landed hard on the ground. I saw this in slow motion and was only close enough to pick him up at the end of the all the bad stuff. He had that sad muffled cry - probably had the wind knocked out a little. And then he bled a little bit in his mouth but that was gone with minutes. I couldn't really find a spot that was injured and within 5 minutes he was eating a snack sitting next to me and within 10 minutes he was playing again.
Kyle came and took the kids over to check out the ducks and then I decided maybe we should concentrate on the toddler area instead of the big kid playground. We manage to enjoy the rest of the visit without anymore falls.
