Keys and Kids

posted Monday, 28 July 2008
We went camping up at Anacortes this past weekend and it was just beautiful. I had hoped to get a blog up about it today, but alas I locked my keys in the boot (trunk) of the car this morning and there they remain. They were in my bag, with my camera, iPod, wallet, and my really good book that I couldn't put down, and now can't pick up Frown. We've been searching for our spare set but no luck. Tomorrow we will resort to other measures. When I have the camera back I will then be able to upload photos and attach them to a blog entry.

Until then here are some photos of Ashley and Caitlin with their friends, about to embark on a bike ride to a local park. Click on the photo below to link to the web album and see the entire fun adventure.

You're welcome Maylynn. We had such fun. It was nice to get a chance to have both Oliver and Eliza over. Ashley and Oliver seemed to really enjoy the opportunity to play together again. It was like old times :)

Beautiful photo of the kids. They all look so happy. I love seeing kids on bikes in the summertime. Brings back lots of memories. Looking forward to seeing your photos after yoiu get your camera out of your car! Best of luck finding your keys!

Thanks Amber. I know. I'm the same. I'm one of five siblings and I have such memories of long days playing in the local fields near out house. No adult supervision either :) Good news is I found the keys. Lying in bed shortly after midnight it occurred to me two places I hadn't checked. I found them in the second one. Went straight to the car, retrieved everything and had a good night's sleep. The plus side is that my house is much tidier and organized after the day of hunting yesterday. I wanted to make sure everywhere we tried was in good order after the search so that I wouldn't second guess if I might have missed them. It worked. Freed my brain to focus on only places I hadn't yet checked :)

Wow, glad you found your keys! I am the least organized person I know, and I often lose things/hide things from myself...strangely enough my hubby is the same (what a pair we are ha ha!) and so I have a lot of empathy for others who have to go through the frustration of trying to find things. I really like your idea of tidying up and organizing while looking. Great idea, I will try that the next time.

Amber, the hiding things from yourself made me laugh :) Finding the keys caused such excitement with Caitlin yesterday morning. I had locked her new little 12oz Kleen Kanteen in the boot of the car along with everything else. I had it waiting on my nightstand when she came into our room first thing. The sheer excitement seemed to wipe out the fact that losing the keys resulted in a missed playdate for her on Monday. She had been so disappointed, cried for about 20mins following the key fiasco once she realized the implication, and tried to be so understanding :( Now I'm a hero who is much loved because I found the keys and returned her treasured water bottle. How quickly life changes...

Susan, It looks like everyone had a lovely time! Hope you get your camera back soon :) By the way, there's an award for you on my blog, I know I'm still on a bit of a break, but wanted to pass a few on before I forgot again... I'll be back in full swing in a week, playing a little catch up tonight since I have a little time.
