My accident at the park

I wanted to share this story because it is funny even though most of you have already heard it. On Tuesday I took my kids and my niece and nephew to the park which is, I have to say brave of me, because I tend to get a little overwhelmed so I was a kind of nervous. Everything went well though they all played nice. We went on the swings and down the slides and even fed the ducks. Nobody attempted to run away, and there were no fits and most importantly there were no injuries, well almost. Ellie decided she wanted to go down the big slide so she started up the stairs and I thought, she is doing good. she was just crawling and was heading right to the slide. Then I realized she had to crawl past a point with two drop offs and I couldn't be on both sides at once and I got nervous and then she started going up the last set of stairs and she decided to stop right there and sit down and that made me really nervous. I decided I needed to get up there and save her life so I took off running and made it about half way up the stairs and then splat I am on the ground with my elbow skinned and my hip and pride bruised. It was quite embarrassing and to make matter worse I was carrying Kellsie in a pack, so I am sure I looked pretty silly. Ellie meanwhile sat patiently on the stairs and waited for me so we could all go down the slide together. So that is my story, all and all it was a good day at the park. I suppose if anyone had to get hurt I am glad it was me.
