Scary Mom Moment

Our "summer" started a few weeks ago when Bible Study finished up.  We have been enjoying the more relaxed pace of life.  This Tuesday, since we didn't have any plans, we decided on an impromptu trip to Discovery Place Kids in Huntersville.  The girls love it and our membership expires soon :)

The girls were both playing in the grocery store- Lily Kate arranging flowers and Aubrey pushing around a grocery cart. My OCD self couldn't help but organize the fruits and vegetables.  When I looked up, Aubrey was gone.  Heart leaped to my throat- I quickly told Lily Kate to come with me and look for her sister.  We did several loops through the different rooms (Cafe, Marine area, Farm, Doctors office) I couldn't find her.  I had just started to panic and go find an employee to help when there was my little shopper- smiling proudly as she pushed her grocery cart over by the water table.  A kind employee was following her and about to report that they had found her.  

Scary Mom moment!!!  After this moment, I will never judge anyone who has their toddler on a leash, I might even go buy one!

Five minutes after I lost Aubrey, JjaJa showed up to surprise us!  We played some more and then enjoyed a picnic!
Perfect day for a picnic
