Hadlie, the lean mean, dirt biking machine......
We all hurt ourselves in stupid ways. It stinks when you can't have a GOOD story to go along with your accident. Good news is: Hadlie actually has a GOOD story....Our next door neighbors have a couple of really cool bike ramps. Everyday the kids are out there jumping the ramps with either their bikes or scooters. Today, Hadlie decided that she was going to get Tage's bike, which is twice as small as hers, and ride it off the jump. She figured, she could catch some air by riding a smaller bike. (Not too bad of an idea, right?) So, she did just that.....got on Tage's bike, sped down the side walk, jumped the jump, and caught some major air. However, when she came back down, she didn't have her handle bars straight and she bit the dust or pavement HARD!
Her friend, Kelsey, came running to the door to get me. I had to literally peel her off the pavement. She flew right of the bike and into the sidewalk and partially into the gutter. She needed quite a bit of TLC.
My cute Hadlie stayed in for a few days due to the major swelling of her lip and nose. She was was embarrassed of her injury. Our Haddie, is a crazy, outgoing girl. I actually love she is so competitive and driven. She'll go far in life.
However, you can take things a little too far, and sometimes they bite you back. This may have been one of those times for Hadlie, but hey, she has a great story to go with her fat lip. So lesson learn is....
When life knocks you down into the dust, get back up and hit the pavement a ridin'....
