Bleeding Out.

Today a little girl bled all over me and I forgot to wash my hands in the flurry of paper towels and tissues. It was a hot and dry day (I can hear my Arizonan friends saying "It's a dry heat, really..."), and her nose bled like it normally does in those weather conditions.

It's amazing how quickly young children can react and become exceedingly helpful and resourceful, forgetting their own aches and worries in order to help the bleeding girl. I'm very proud to have watched her grow to the point that she doesn't hardly cry over big things like bee stings and incessant nosebleeds.

Any ideas for outdoorsy games for small children? I'd much appreciate them.
