A Happy Ending

A couple of weeks ago we went to Ruby's Inn by Bryce Canyon for an Annual Lifferth Retreat. It was a lot of fun and I really wish that I had some pictures, but as usual I forgot my camera. One of the things that we did while we were there was play a baseball game. I did not play, but I did go to watch. The game was played at a baseball field near the high school in Tropic. At the game they had a little zig-zag walkway. Reagan had a lot of fun walking up and down that walkway during the game. I was a little ways away at the dugout but she was always in my line of vision and I was watching her. However, when the game ended I could not see Reagan anywhere. I saw Landon and I saw Emma but Reagan was nowhere to be found. I asked Dave if he had seen Reagan and he hadn't. At the place we were at there was a long parking lot with a dumpster at the end then it went into canyon area. I was starting to get worried. I called Reagan's name and thought to myself "Please let me find Reagan." Shortly after my Brother-in-Law Marty spotted Reagan in her pink coat. She had gone up into the canyon area. Dave ran over to get her but when he first got there he didn't see her anywhere because the shrubs were taller than Reagan. He did find her and my dad drove his car over to pick them up. I was so happy to see Reagan again! I gave her a big hug. When we asked what she was doing she just shrugged her shoulders. I feel really lucky when I think that if the baseball game went any longer than it did we may not have found her. What a blessing that it ended when it did and that this story has A Happy Ending!!!

Good thing she was wearing that pink coat! I'm glad she wasn't lost for very long, poor little thing! And her poor mama too; how scary. Thank goodness for happy endings!

Your gonna have to get a leash for that one! Just glad it all turned out well.

Oh, and I haven't posted a comment on your "Pay it Forward" because although I would LOVE to get something handmade from you, I just don't think I have the time right now to make something for three people! But you are quite talented and make awesome things, so three people will be very lucky!

Don't you just hate that ping of pain that gets you right in the gut when you think your child is missing? I'm glad she was found safe and sound.

That was so frightening! We love that little wanderer but we certainly have learned that we need to watch her closely. - Even at the dinosaur playroom!
Love, Grandmom
