You see, it is Evans family tradition to have Gus (desert tortoise) in the family pictures.
It was raining.
It was cold.
It was in Springville.
So, we loaded her into the cooler (aka hotel room for the winter) and we were off.
Family pictures went well... I think... and we ended the evening at my sister's house for dinner.
Then, we came home. It was late. We were tired. We unloaded the family and the bags and the mail and the everything and went straight to bed. Monday mornings come too quickly.
All night long we felt this draft. It was really cold. And, the heater kept kicking on. Weird, right?
Well, it would only be weird if there was no reason for it. But, there was a reason.
The front door had been left WIDE open (including the screen door which was propped open)... And, as it turned out, the garage was left open... AND, interestingly enough, the car doors were open... ALL NIGHT LONG.
That's right. In our rush we failed to close the doors to ANYTHING.
It was an open invitation into our home for 8 straight hours. Nice. Luckily, nothing happened... this time.

Megan are you sure "you" left the doors open? I have a good feeling that something or someone else could have done this. Hehe... Did you at least take Gus out of the hotel room or is she still in the cooler. Go check. Seriously go check, just to make sure.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I want to know where Gus is too.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you guys did that! I once left my keys in the door to my super ghetto apartment in Layton (do you remember it? I know you visited once) and I woke up horrified in the morning when I found them there since all our neighbors were super creepy. Good thing nothing happened!
I thought that the story was going to get to Gus died.. I was SO relieved when that was not the ending. Glad nothing happened to you either! ;)
ReplyDeleteYou guys are so cute and funny. I'm adding you to my blog so I can keep up with you. Love you both.
