Saturday My Mom, Olivia and I went to Boyne City to have a BBQ and watch the Fireworks.
We had some trouble with the Charcoal because it was old (from last September). There were a ton of old dry pine cones in the park, and Olivia was gathering them to put in the fire. I told her to just get a bunch and leave them by the grill so I could put them in. She did get quite a few, and they burned rather well.
Olivia was really excited about toasting marshmallows, and I told her we needed more pine cones so the fire wouldn't go out. So she goes off to pick up more pine cones while my Mom and I are eating our dinner, and instead of doing what she was supposed to be doing, she goes and picks up a "rock". Well... that rock turned out to be a piece of charcoal that fell out of the grill. Olivia burned her thumb and index finger on the hot charcoal!
We put ice on it right away and my Mom also had some burn cream in her purse that we put on it.
We were going to take her home, but she really wanted to see the Fireworks really bad. We ended up not having enough ice to keep her finger cold, so my Mom got her another cup from someone that had a cooler of ice, and she also got a burn dressing and more gel.
Olivia was OK as long as she kept her fingers on ice, and she LOVED the fireworks.
