Slide...

Casey and I took Ruby, and met some friends at the park this afternoon...fun, right?  Well kinda.  I decided to take Ruby down the BIG slide.  Please note, slick work out pants, ugg boots, metal slide and loose gravel are a bad combination for this mama.  As we approached the end of the very steep slide I noticed the speed at which Ruby and I were traveling was a little fast, and as I literally flew off the bottom of the slide I could not seem to get my feet to move quick enough to catch myself.  So if you can imagine I'm stumbling trying to stop myself (and not drop Ruby), gravel is flying, lots of high pitch squeals, Ruby still in my arms (not sure how),  and all I could do is fall to my knees so I wouldn't land on my little babe!...all Casey could do was laugh and reach a helping arm out that really looked more like a stiff arm.  I think he thought I was gonna take him out too.  Please remember I was at a public park with many spectators...so embarrassing!!!!  (it might be one of those "gotta be there" moments to think its funny, but sharing the story makes me feel a little less silly)

I'm pretty sure it was way more painful to my pride than anything else...I definitely have a "most embarrassing moment" now!
can't really see the gravel indention, but they're there.  I'm pretty white so if you see red that's from the gravel.  I haven't had a scratch on my knees since I was like 12, seriously who trips and falls as an adult?  I even snagged up my pants :(
Look how excited we were on the way down...had we only known what was about to happen.
Ruby thought running down the hill was way more fun than the swings.
look at the tongue...definitely a Horner trait
