Crash and Burn

Last week we went out as a family for frozen yogurt.
While we were leaving, Ryan and Summer were horsing around in the parking lot. Ryan does this thing with the kids where he runs and jumps over the kids.
Well, he went to do this to Summer, as he's down thousands of times before, but this time she moved right when he was in mid-air. He came down right on top of her and sent her face first onto the asphalt.
She had a giant bruised goose-egg on her forehead and her nose, lip, and chin were bleeding. Of course, she was screaming, "I need a band-aid."
Ryan felt terrible.
I took this picture 3 days later - it doesn't do it justice.

It's incredible how quickly kids heal - thank goodness!

Lovely goose egg! Poor Summer. Did she ever get a band-aid? I'm sure Ryan felt terrible. Brian was playing around with Cameron when he was about Summer's age and Cameron got hurt. To this day, Brian is still apologizing to Cameron.

Just part of parenthood. I've hurt Timothy while playing with him, and felt bad, but then after about 5 min. he wants to do it again. Crazy kid.

I believe that Ryan did that trick with Rett and Grant in high school too. Poor Summer! Glad everyone is okay now.
