Dad and Alicyn decided to spend the last day of spring break hanging at the park. They planned to ride bikes, scooters, and take a picnic to eat lunch while there. I was working, and had gone to meet Tonya to pick out some of the stuff for her house. Alicyn & Rich headed out, they filled the van, and off to Old Settlers. Everything was going great, they were getting some good quality daddy daughter time.
I got a text that they were having a blast and eating lunch on the bridge. 
Then it happened. Alicyn was riding her scooter in front of Rich skating when she got going too fast downhill and crashed. Big time. Rich said it was in slow motion for him, he could see her begin to lose control, told her to aim for the grass but he couldn't get to her in time. Face first into the cement! Nose first actually. Next text had this picture! 
Of course, I am freaking out at this point and rush home. She is miserable. And sad. Bruised, and bleeding. I was worried that she would need plastic surgery it looked so bad. Poor Rich felt terrible, he kept replaying the event wondering if he could have just gotten there a little faster. He is such a good daddy, he carried her, the scooter back to the truck, all on SKATES!
Holy cow! It actually healed fairly quickly, 7 days to be exact. But of course, school pictures came during the healing process. Oh well, just gives us another memory! What a trooper, this was painful!
Getting better and better.
Almost back to normal :)
