Funny Story...
We went to my parents house for dinner tonight and my Mom had bought both of the kids a pair of sunglasses....Kennedy wore hers all the way home (it was completely dark outside).
Anyway, it made me think of a time when I was a kid and I had gotten a new pair of sunglasses and I looked sooo COOL when I was wearing them. We were on a short road trip to Spokane (2 1/2 hour drive) and I had the window down and had my head slightly out the window letting the wind blow my hair and the warm sun shine on my face while I was sporting my new shades.
And wouldn't you know, a gust of wind took those sunglasses right off my face and they were somewhere on the side of the highway. I yelled for my mom to stop so we could get my ($2) sunglasses and she said we couldn't stop but that if I saw them on the way home she would stop. mmmmmmm....... Is that mean, or smart? Not sure, but I was quiet all the way home as I kept my eyes peeled looking for my shades. Nope, never found them.

That is so sad, yet so cute :) My kids love sunglasses, too. By the way, I just tagged you...see my blog for details!
T,
Yes, Conrad and Christina are in the photo with us. I am sure you knew him at BYUH, he was in my major then switched to yours. Small world!

Ah, Cambria lost a pair of sun glasses in the lake while we were on a boat in Coeur d'Alene. It was like she was saying good-bye to Jack as he slipped away from the wreckage from the Titanic. She watched them go down until the darkness of the water claimed them. She was very sad.
I hope you have had many happy (and longer) relationships with sunglasses since. ;)
I totally remember that! I was traumatized for you and thought mom should definitely stop the car for your sunglasses. Apparently she didn't give in to whining because I remember trying.
