It Happened...

That awful moment that every parent dreads. You turn around and your child is gone. This weekend we took the kids on a fun little trip to the Great Wolf Lodge in the Pocono Mtns. It has an indoor water park and Phil had Eliza, and I had Tyler, Chase and Lexi. (we brought our niece w/ us) We were walking over to meet up with Phil and I turned around and Chasey was gone. Just vanished in thin air. It had been maybe 2 seconds since I'd turned around it was that quick. I panicked and dragging the other 2 around I'm screaming like a mad-woman, and realized that was pointless b/c this place was insane crazy. Kids everywhere, screaming and water running. So I ran over to a lifeguard who radioed for help. I was shaking and bawling. So the long and the short of it was that Chase had decided to find Phil on his own, and I have no idea how (except that Heavenly Father was watching over him) and he found Phil. I kid you not that this place was a mad-house. Phil could see me across the room freaking out and he was trying to get my attention, but I didn't see/hear him. So thank goodness it all worked out, I've never had this happen to me before. I've lost sight of my kids for a second, but never for 10 minutes. I was just running around praying and praying and praying. I am so thankful we're all back together, and let me tell you this has not helped my urge to keep my children safely in a bubble for the rest of their lives!!
