Missing boys...

Jason, David, Kevin, Jared

Last Saturday--not yesterday, the one before that--Ryan and Matt had the opportunity to do baptisms for the dead at the Temple. I decided to go along and take in the peace and joy. It was a last minute decision. Before I planned on going, David had asked if he could ride his bike to the library when it opened. I gave him permission if he took a brother with him. Then I decided to go to the temple, so I asked David to babysit until we got home. I forgot all about the library request.

When we got home from the temple our home was a quiet as the temple had been.

Not normal.

It was also empty of all boys.

Where were they?

We looked all over inside and out.

We counted the bikes.

2 missing.

We looked for the bike trailer.

It was there.

Next the stroller.

It was gone.

I hopped in the car and found the boys quietly--kind of--looking for books at the library.

They walked and rode all that way for some books.

I couldn't be mad.

So I just asked them to leave a note telling me where they were next time.
