Janine Callen Photography: "She's 4 on the inside"

Saturday night I went baby sitting with my sister so I wasn't hanging around the house being bored all night like I always do. It was a lot of fun. I've know this family since I was 8 years old (Holy crap thats 13 years!!)

Only Katie was there, Maggie was at sleep away camp so I was pretty bummed I only got to hang out with one of them. Anyways, I suggested that we go to the playground because they have a kick ass playground near their house.

Once we got there, Katie and I raced down the giant slides that they have. At first I was winning, until I got towards the bottle and discovered that there is a HUGE bump and I went flying into the air and landed on the slide and whacked my elbow. As I'm lying on the bottom of the slide rubbing my elbow, Katie comes up to me and say "Oh I thought you knew about the bump." "No Katie I did not."

Injury number one.

Then I was pushing Katie and two other little girls on the tire swing, having fun, not pushing them too hard or too crazy. And they tell me to go faster so I pick it up a little bit, I'm starting to get into it so I'm running back and forth pushing them having a ball. When suddenly while running and pushing I loose my traction and slip and fall and scratch my knee all up. Wood chips are dangerous and slippery and should not be at parks. What happen to that blue squishy stuff they have these days??

Injury number two.

So needless to say I was very cautious the rest of our trip at the park. We made new friends and we rode on cars and trains and wore our seat belts and went to get ice cream and had a lot of fun! One of the other mothers was talking to Jen asking how old we were so Jen told her, I'm 24 and she is 21. And then Katie walks up and says "Yea but she's 4 on the inside." Hahaha I love that little girl, she really gets me :)
