It seemed like a good idea at the time
When we got to the beach today we saw that someone had set up a huge slide at the top of the sand hill, with a pump to run water down it.
There was a huge ramp at the end of it.
My brother Nick got some major air going down it.
I went down a few times.
It was a lot of fun.
Until I landed on my wrist. I can’t move it too much right now.
As long as I can run I don’t care. I may have to see a doctor though.
It’s really hard to type with my left hand only.
Editor’s Note: Check out the awesome splint & sling that Steven and my Grandma made me! And here’s a video of my sister’s boyfriend going down the slide.

Sorry about the wrist. That looks so fun, though.
omg, this looks like a blast. So sorry you got hurt though! Was this Lake Michigan? Lake Michigan is my favorite place to hang out, on the beach- oh, it’s the bomb. Take care of yourself!
ouch! 🙁 and assuming you’re right-handed, double-ouch for having to type not just with one hand, but with your “other” hand! I hope the doc only needs to prescribe rest for the wrist (and yes, please go see a doc – better safe than sorry, imo)
Ouch! Yes, go see a doctor–it may seem relatively minor now but your range of motion will suffer regardless of how minor it is.
This all reminds me of the Mom Saying: “It’s fun till someone gets hurt.” 😉
Oh no! So sorry you got hurt 🙁 but that looks like a lot of fun!!!!! Lake Michigan yes?
That looks like so much fun, but I’m sorry you got hurt!! Better your wrist than your ankle??
Does look fun! Hope your wrist is feeling better today.
Oh no! Wrist injuries are the pits! Although, I agree with Susan; much better your wrist than your ankle!
Oh no! I’m sorry about your wrist! At least you were doing something fun when it happened.
Sorry you got hurt! Ouch.
Does look like fun–a lot of fun.
Yikes!!! We used to go down a water slide like that at a nearby family park. Eventually they had to close it because of all the injuries!
Oh, and I hope it feels better soon- forgot to add that!
Ouch, I hope it feels better.
Ouch! At least get it X-rayed! Hope the rest of the weekend was better!
Oog. Feel better!
Oh no!!!!! I hope your wrist feels better!
That looks like a lot of fun but I’m sorry you hurt yourself. Heal quickly and definitely go see a doctor just in case!
Sorry to hear about your wrist. That slide did look like a lot of fun.
That looks like so much fun! But I’m sorry about your wrist. That really stinks. I hope it feels better soon!
Beth – It was a BLAST! I would do it again 😉
