Return to the scene...

No, she isn't tired.

No, Millie F did not push her. 

Millie D is reenacting a scene from the previous night at the exact spot where she attempted to FLY. 

No damage was done to the monument. 

Thankfully, Millie D is very agile and simply did a couple of dance steps, kicked her heels over her head, twirled twice, did the splits and then dived onto the cement after she tripped on the step as we explored the monument the night before in the dark. 

Amazingly Millie D suffered only a scrapped forehead and tenderized hand. 

(She got up and danced away)
