Safest Park, no such thing.

7-2-2015. On this day Mom took the boys to "The Safest Park in Iowa"; Miracle Park in Ankeny. It is an amazing park, with something for everyone. The boys were having a great time playing and then Ty tripped going up a rubber coated step, I am thankful that I actually saw it happen. He landed on his chin and bit down on his tongue. It was a beautiful day and the park was very busy. Several moms looked in horror as Ty turned to me with a mouth full of blood, as it drizzled onto the ground. I scooped him up and ran over to our stroller. I laid him flat and busted out the first aid kit I keep in my bag. I then asked a couple moms on a bench near us if they had any ice I could use, I had noticed their Jimmy Johns cups in their hands. One mom poured out her remaining drink so Ty could have the ice and then I gave Ty a syringe full of nasty medicine that helps wounds in his mouth not bleed so much. At that point I started to clean him up and realized that he had split open the bottom of his chin, with all of the blood I never saw it. So I super glued it and made him soak ice in his mouth for about 10 minutes. Then he was bandaged up and on his way playing again. The rest of the day I was charged up and tense. We weathered the storm but every storm leaves a mark! *** And to that mom that sacrificed her drink, Thank You! Without that gesture our trip to the park would have ended with a mom frantically gathering up her kids and rushing to a fast food/convenience store to get a cup of ice (I know from experience) and ruining a beautiful day for 3 little boys.
