How much fun is she having. A photo to make you smile!
Uh, Kylie? I think she’s crying? Some sort of inflatable reindeer RTA by the looks of it. Reindeer rage….
oh she doesnt look very happy does she :o/
Oh dear… Someone’s not happy at all!
uh ohh.. all fall down
I hope you told her to get straight back on the horse!
Arrrgh I don’t want to go home, mummy… No, I don’t want to.
Oh dear, they don’t always bounce do they?
Whhhhhaaaaaaaaaaa! I fell off! The word has ended as we no it and I can never go on! What is a girl to do?
He he! x
Oh no. That isn’t a very happy face!
Clearly it wasn’t too traumatic though or I’d like to think you’d have rushed to her aid without photographing her first! Hehehe.
x
Oh. Poor lamb. Hope she recovered very quickly
Oh dear temper tantrum, lots of those here too! But a good one to embarass her with when shes 18.
Uh oh… Muuuummmmmmmeeeeeeee!!! 🙂
Did she fall off? whatever happened it doesn’t look good, bet that required a good cuddle to make that pass
Oh dear, bucked off at the first hurdle… Bless her! Emma 🙂
Looks like someone is not happy ….
Kylie: She actually was having a blast a few seconds earlier!!! She was in one of those overtired ‘deliriously happy one moment, hysterically crying the next’ moods! x
Motherventing: I tried to warn her about the dangers of taking her reindeer too wide around the corners, but she wouldn’t listen!! 😉
SarahMumof3: She was actually cracking up laughing a few seconds earlier, when some other kid came off their Happy Hopperz. Didn’t seem quite so funny when it happened to her!! x
Lagos Mum: Ten seconds later she was back on that reindeer and bouncing about like a trooper. There’s no keeping that girl down!! x
Cookie Jar Life: She was NOT a happy bunny! Or should that be reindeer…?
Midlife Single Mum: Back on the orange reindeer, you mean? 😉
Carolin: We did actually have an almost identical meltdown when it was time to leave!!! x
Planet Penny: It was more of a Splat! than a bounce… 😉
Multiple Mummy: She gets that dramatic flair from her father… 😉
Love From Mummy: Of course I would have dropped the camera and rushed to her side..! *looks away, whistles*
Reluctant Housedad: Strangely, the mere mention of an ice cream put the smile swiftly back on her face!
The Mum of all Trades: I have quite a selection of 18th bday pics stockpiled already. Poor kid doesn’t stand a chance!! 😉
Mcai7td3: Yep. That’s pretty much how it went! With a few sobs thrown in for dramatic effect… 😉
Mari’s World: I think she zigged when she should have zagged, and bit the dust. Like the great Mum I am, I immediately rushed to cuddle her (after taking the photo…) x
Emma: My dreams of her one day becoming an Olympic Equestrian rider are shattered… 😉
The Real Supermum: Not even close! Nothing than an icecream couldn’t fix though… 😉
Oh dear, back on that reindeer. x
