Excitement in the neighborhood...



We woke up to another rainy gloomy day. Payton arrived about 7:10am. After our showers, I fixed pancakes for breakfast. I made some with chocolate chips and some plain. Payton had more pancakes then Kyle did. I guess he was a hungry little boy. Since it was raining we decided to go to Exton shopping. Payton fell asleep on the way there, so Beth stayed in the car with him while Kyle and I went into Barnes and Noble. We were in there about 45 minutes. When we returned to the car, Payton was awake, so we headed to Sam's club. Picked up a few things and it was getting to be lunch time. We headed to Cheeseburger Paradise for some lunch. We all had cheeseburgers of some kind except Payton, who had mac & cheese and fries. After lunch, we headed to Toys R Us. We were looking for some games for the luau party, but did not really find anything we liked. On the way home Payton looked like he was going to fall asleep and Beth was happy about that, as she would be able to take a nap with him. As we pulled into the driveway, we saw 2 cars in the neighbors driveway and 3 guy standing beside them. Not thinking anything was wrong, we headed into the house. Beth took Payton into the bedroom for her much needed nap. Payton did not like that idea. I headed to the office and could hear the men talking outside. Then all of a sudden Kyle can running down the hall saying the police and a police dog were in the woods behind out house. And sure enough they were and the dog was running up and down the tree line. Living in the city for several years and seeing the process, I knew they were looking for someone. I went outside to lock all the car doors. They unmarked cars and the officers spent the next 4 hours in and out of the woods and driving by our house. The neighbor lady came by and said the police said they could not say anything but that they were looking for someone that alluded them all day. So now we have to keep all the windows and doors locked tonight. Good thing I take sleeping pills or I would not get any sleep. So we will get a paper tomorrow and see if there is anything in it about the excitement we had in the neighborhood. Today's picture is of a bunny that was sun bathing under the walking stick bush we have. Not a care in the world.
