Bad Mother!!!

Well, I almost lost Grahm this week. We were at Miller Park playing on the playground equipment with two other families from the branch. Grahm was playing on the equipment and then it was getting close to time to go and he wandered down next to the Little League field (the fence). It was down a little hill, when he was standing you could see him. He kept bending down and I was not sure I liked the idea of him collecting cigarette butts and beer bottles, so I went to get him. He did not want to cooperate, so I told him it was time to go. I then headed back up the hill to where everyone else was (the only direction he could go was up the hill, he could follow the fence a bit, but he would still have to come back up the hill). We finished collecting all of the snacks and the 4 other boys and I went to physically collect him and he was gone!!! I was shocked! I started looking around and someone in the parking lot asked if we were looking for a little boy, he informed us that his wife took him up to the ticket office. It was very busy in the parking lot that day, they had a free prostate screening - so lots of cars coming and going. I was told that was where they had found him - scary! I went running up to the ticket office. When I got there he was being held and was not even slightly upset, he told everyone I had left! We were very lucky, the couple that found him where actually from the branch. Since then Jason keeps telling me I am not allowed to take the kids to the park.
