The day after the birthday!!

Today we went to the MTN Sceincentre at Canal Walk. It is a great place where the kids (and adults!) get to look at, do, build and learn about all sorts of scientific things. it's a lot of fun and one of our favourite outings. Abigail has been a couple of times before but today was Niave's first time. She enjoyed it especially the "river" where they have water experiments etc.






I left early with Niave as she was tired and Abigail stayed on with her friend Bryce. His mom said she would bring her home.


When they arrived, Bryce was very excited to see Abs new bike and have a ride.
He's a keen cyclist and could ride without side wheels at a very young age.
Anyway, he had a turn and then Abs got on and started down the road - we live in a cul de sac so there's not a lot of cars and they only come from 1 side so it's easy to watch for them.
Bryce started running behind the bike and tripped, when he fell and started crying Abigail turned to see what had happened and then she fell.

She banged her face on the curb and has a black eye and grazed cheek.

Bryce had a cut on his hand.
So there was much crying and putting on ice packs and even a bit of Panado and she is feeling much better now, unfortunately it doesn't look too good, but we're trying not to tell her that!

I'm a bit late but OH-MY-WORD!!! It looks so sore. Well, the lesson here is 'Do not look behind you when you ride'...
I hope it looks better very soon!

BTW, it's so funny because on the same day, Caren was also at MTN Center (maybe you saw her) and I was with Kerry at the Place of play just outside... Ah!!
