Last Thursday we packed up the car and headed out to Champion Park to meet up with our friends for a playdate at the splash pad. Alex loves water. And he loves to run. And he thought running IN the water would be fun. Until he slipped and took a head-dive into the cement. It took a chunk of skin and left a nice gash. With blood running down his chin he kept insisting he wasn't going home and he would get back in the water to play.
After we got home (without getting back into the water) and had it cleaned up, it looked a little like this:
Ow. It's nicely working on creating scar number 2 on his face as it heals.
Because of the disaster (defined by Alex as inability to continue playing in the water with his friends, blood and all) we decided to take a nice, hopefully less dangerous, nature walk the next morning. We found some good bugs, burned off some energy, and worked up a decent Texas sweat in the 100 degree heat. Success.
Look closely. There's a baby turtle on the edge of the lily pad.
