Excitement after the Dinosaur Museum

It was a normal Friday that we started off with meeting the Denning's for a visit to the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Point. The kids had a great time and as we were getting ready to leave, things became interesting........

Alesha had put Alexa in the car and Drake had mysteriously and unknowingly to the adults, locked the van doors and got out himself, leaving Alexa in the van. When Alesha went open the doors to get the kids in, they were locked, with the keys in the van. Alesha right away wanted to break the window, but I decided to call the police and they said that the would send someone out. Luckily it wasn't too hot that day and Alexa took a nap while waiting the the police to get the van open. After about 40 minutes we had success and Alexa was very happy to get out of her car seat and hang out for a minute. It ended up being a bit of a crazy day! 

The kids were very interested in what the police were doing
