Curly and Scout started a soccer camp this week that I will tell you a little more about in the next few days, but I just couldn't wait to share this one.
They arrived a bit early with Drama Queen since it was the first day and they had to wait to be signed in. So they sat down on the grass to apply sunscreen. Scout took off her glasses and laid them on the grass beside her while she did her face.
Unfortunately, she forgot to pick them up again.
The campers were called over to begin their new soccer training. About the time the gigantic lawnmower headed that way and passed on through, she remembered her glasses. She and Curly spent part of their lunch hour looking for them with no success.
When we arrived, she mentioned something about them, but didn't seem quite sure of her story, so I was hopeful she had left them home or in Drama Queen's truck. Later, when it became obvious that she had not left them home, we loaded up six of us and headed back to the park to scour the area.
Scout was the first to spot a single lens tucked into the newly mowed grass and it just got worse from there. Have you ever seen what a pair of glasses look like after they have been hit with one of those park mowers? These are the pieces we could find...
Mystery solved.
I am so sorry to hear about the broken glasses. It is one of those things htat would be easy to do for any of us that wear glasses.
ReplyDeleteI guess I can hope you had them insured; but probably not.
Always enjoy your stories and photos to match.
Loving thoughts and hugs for you you both!
