She kept going higher, urging me along.
Our legs pumped hard as we raced to the top.
The moment she reached it, Alice jumped, doing a somersault in the air before landing on her feet.

We had the park to ourselves that evening and when the sprinklers came on I stole her hand and led her through them until we were drenched.
