The Big Bike Adventure

We had a sleep over with Sophie on Friday and something very sad happened. When we went outside to go home, Ian's bike was gone. We looked for it all around Mimi's yard and then, as we walked home we checked all of the other yard's as well. NO BIKE! I couldn't believe that someone would steal a little kid's bike in the middle of the day! What kind of a world do we live in for the love of pete? We drove around looking for it and finally gave up. Then Ian and Sophie decided to make signs to hang on the neighborhood light posts. They wrote up the signs and posted them both. Boy were they sad. I went to bed thinking what a long, boring summer this was going to be without a bike.
Sophie's note.
Ian's note.
This story ends happy though! No, the robber didn't bring the bike back. Mimi found it in her outside food room the next morning. We think one of the Heath children must have moved it. Ian suspects Drew, but I'm not so sure. I guess the moral of the story is: Call and verify with your sister's kids if they moved a blue bike from the front yard and put it in the outside food room before you go all crazy looking for a lost blue bike! The summer is saved!!!!

I am laughing so hard at this story. I don't know why it is so funny...I love the signs! I was feeling really sad in the beginning but the twist at the end is fabulous!
