Sarah, we've got a runner

Well today was very interesting to say the least!

My Dad has been sick with a 102 fever the past week, so today we finally put our feet down and made him stay in bed and rest! (Believe me, it is not a easy thing to do!) Anyways, he did manage to rest quite a bit of day, and I was just starting to pat myself on the back for being a good nurse when there was a loud bang on the door and I went to answer it.

"Sarah, we've got a hot foot" Bro. Daniel was at the door, and my heart beat picked up just hearing that!

"You mean like a runner?" I asked, just to make sure. :) Hey I was trying to be a optimist! Yeah, the new boy ran away and immediate chaos reigned! People running everywhere and boys spreading in twenty different directions. Sorry make that 15, but close enough.

My Dad, (who don't forget - has a 102 fever) of course jumps off the couch and hops into one of the vans and takes off down the road. Everyone was gone for about 20 minutes and then the van pulls back into the driveway, with a kicking and fiting ranch boy!!

Come to find out that my Dad had saw him coming out of the woods, jumped out of the van and football tackled him!!! Yeah, now that's what I'm talking about, go Dad!
