A field of Black-Eyed Susans. A camera. A beautiful little girl. You know where this is going, right? How could I resist taking more pictures of Sam.

Sam and Mark went to one of her favorite playgrounds, Rolling Green Park, on Rolling Road here in Springfield. She calls it the “Orange Playground” because, simply, the equipment is mostly orange. Hey, it works. We know what she means. Anyway, it is a really nice playground that looks like it was just dumped in the middle of the woods. There is a good sized creek at the one end of it where Sam can stroll along picking up rocks and other interesting things and the playground is completely shaded because of all the trees. That is the good part. The bad part is, well, trees have roots. Roots that stick up out of the ground and trip little girls. Who then come crying home with two skinned knees. Poor Sam. 🙁 I told her that her mommy ALWAYS had two skinned knees when she was little. My melodramatic daughter played up her “injuries” like a true Oscar award winning actress. She ceased crying fairly quickly but then acted like an invalid the entire rest of the day. She wouldn’t walk, she wouldn’t bend her legs, she needed everything brought to her poor, injured self on the couch. She even asked me t0 scratch the bottom of her foot because she had an itch and just couldn’t reach it. We did feel badly for her so we let her milk it for all it was worth for the one day. By morning, she was ok. She still has skinned knees but she is as rambunctious as ever. Here are some really cute pictures of her having fun before her injuries occurred.
