Bonnie and Clyde Treasures

After the playoff game, we drove to Nanna and PaPaw's house (Phil and Libby). We spent the night with them and decided to go on a treasure hunt the next morning. At the Bonnie and Clyde Trade show, we found lots of goodies! At the first jewelry booth, the seller gave Emmalee a bracelet. As Daddy bought a Christmas decoration, that seller gave Emmalee a teddy bear. Then we found a table full of "junk." But the kids, of course, managed to find treasures. Each item was 50 cents. Their Mimi had given them each a dollar. So they got to pick 2 items. Emmalee chose 2 books. Ethan chose this toy gun and a Santa sleigh. They were so excited to get these new items! As we walked along, we found some older antiqued toys (metal cars, yo-yos and Coke cans). All of these items were quite expensive ($30). Ethan spotted a rusty "delivery" truck with doors that opened. His eyes lit up and I knew he wanted it. There was no price tag on it, so I encouraged him to ask the seller about it. The man must have seen the excitement in his sweet face because the man said Ethan could have it for FREE. My precious boy thanked the man, took 2 steps, sat on the dirty ground and began gathering rocks and leaves to fill his delivery truck! Thank you, Lord, for blessing my family with so many sweet treasures!
