Hello everyone,
Our campgrounds opened up last week and my family and I went out to our permanent campsite to get everything cleaned up and ready to go for the summer. Well I was taking a break reading a magazine and the next thing I know ,my daughter is freaking out like something was stinging her so I ran out on our deck where she was and her shorts were on fire! Turns out my son had a cap gun and pointed it at her when he shot it off and it must have sparked and she had shorts on that had fringe on them. Needless to say they were burning,not in flames yet but still burning on my poor little girl(only 4) I laid her down and patted them out with my hands(not too smart of me) but that was my first instinct,then of course I took them off of her and got her into the bathtub with cool water. I put the only thing we had out there on her , neosporin with pain relief. It is now 3hrs later and her inner thighs actually dont look bad,no blisters but red marks as if you got burned with a curling iron. I tell ya ,kids are tough. she is amazing, didnt even really cry. It just scared her.She said ,I almost died and I said no you didnt. But the scary thing is if she would have been across in the yard from our camp site it could have been too late, it could have been worse. I am so thankful she is okay . Thank god is all I can say, he definately was watching over her!!!! anyway, I think my kids will make me have gray hairs before my time. gotta love them!!
