Rough Day at Grandma's House

Right now me and Kensley have escaped the horrible heat of Arizona to visit Grandma in Utah for a couple of weeks. We have been here for a few days now and Kensley has been having a great time. She loves playing outside all day long and her favorite thing to do is play in the water and the little kiddy pool and to water flowers. The only problem with that, is once she gets her clothes wet she immediately strips them off and runs around with no clothes on for the rest of the day. No clothes on has contributed to the mishaps she had today or at least to the injuries. I was sitting in the house when I heard her start screaming hysterically and knew something was wrong so I went running to find her. It took a little while, but I followed the screams and finally found her at the bottom of the deck in the background laying in the dirt, mostly naked and crying. What I have guessed had happened was that she was on the deck and saw some toys on the ground and was leaning through the posts to try and reach them and then fell head first to the ground. She was covered in scrapes all over her body, mostly her stomach and face. She even had a splinter in her lip. I finally got her calmed down and when she was recovered, she went out to play again. All was well until she started playing a chasing game with her cousin, Braden. She, of course, couldn't run as fast as him and ended up face first on the concrete. This time with a scraped arm and hip bone and various other places. This incident was much more traumatic than the first and she screamed for quite some time and was shaking all over. An hour or so later and she is now outside playing again. She does come in and check in with me every little while to let me know that her arm still hurts, though. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.
