Burger King

Today we took the kids to burger king on Mark's lunch break. Lydia is at the point, where she doesn't enjoy just playing at the bottom of the play thing. So I being a wonderful mommy, decided to climb up with her. Has anyone else noticed how tall I am? I thought I knew this already, but today proved it to me in a whole new way! I get her to the top! She ran around up there for awhile. Then we slid down the slide. I can honestly say that was the highlight of my day! She loved it! Giggled all the way down.

She decided that she wanted to go again, so up we went. This time she decided she wanted to head straight to the slide, to her mothers horror.
I took off through the tube after her as fast as I could. She is one fast kid! I probably sounded like a stampede of wild hippo's, crawling...and falling through those things! Yelling in a whisper, not to be quiet and lady like, but because I was out of breath! "Lydia STOP!" "Please wait for mommy!!"
Well also to my horror as I came up right behind her, I lost my grip and fell on my face THUD in the tube. Only to see her go face first down the slide! Giggling and chatting! I grabbed her foot with my ninja mommy reflexes! Pulled her from the clutches of death...well at least from a bumpy ride.

I pulled her back up. Sat her little bottom down beside me. Pulled myself into an upright position...for the most part. And down we went....


I will not soon forget this. Neither will my bones or my pride. I can also honestly say, Burger Kings play equipment is built very well! I have tested it out!!
