A little boy with a green shirt...

So this picture was taken at the zoo last week. Marnee and I met last Friday to have an outing with cousins. I took this picture by the flamingos because my thought was, "this is the cutest kid I've ever seen!" So, after Marnee left, I was walking out of the parking lot with my sister-in-law and all our kids and we were crossing the bridge and saw some turtles in the water below. The kids loved counting them and after I had taken a picture and was ready to walk out to the car I looked up and my stroller was empty. Joseph was NO WHERE in sight. I started yelling for him and nothing... I started panicking, in a matter of five or ten minutes I went from laughin at turtles to hysterical crying because I couldn't find my son. The zoo people wanted a description and all I could say was "a little boy with a green shirt and blonde hair"... While I was desperately running around the bridge, down the stairs leading down to the water, scanning the parking lot etc. I heard Erica yelling my name. They had found him!! Back at the front near the entrance of the zoo. He came running up to me and kissed my face and giggled. I have never been so terrified in all my life. My prayers were very long that night as I thanked Heavenly Father for helping me find "a little boy with a green shirt"!

What a nightmare... I can't believe this happened! Especially after our conversation when we entered the zoo! I'm soooo glad you found "THE CUTEST BOY WITH A GREEN SHIRT!"
