Hurry it up already

Caroline and I were doing returns in Hicksville last week when I shot this. She had a blast, but was obviously slow for the other kids on the slide (as you can tell by the video) - especially for one much older boy who liked to rush up the front of the slide. At a time when there were no less than 4 kids on the stairs and 2 at the top (Caroline & one of the kids who was routinely passing her in line), the boy zoomed up the slide and accidentally knocked Caroline off the back. I was in a sheer panic. It's not the first time she's landed on her head lately at a playground, but it was the first time someone else knocked her that way. At least the crowd of children slowed her descent from that height. She cried for 1/2 a minute and demanded back at the slide - where she cried for another 1/2 minute watching the other kids climb. Then up she went. She sure liked that slide.
