A group of boys plays soccer on a dirt field near us. There is no grass so they just rearrange the rocks to give them sidelines and goals and play hardscrabble ball. I stopped once before and they were fun and wanted me to take their pictures. I sent some to Carter.
Today, they had a bigger group playing and I took some shots and then they spotted me, an old gray American with a camera, so they came up and were jousting with me. I got them to line up for a pose and they were pretty good. But as I was trying to communicate with one of them, someone pointed to my car and there were about 8 of them rifling through my car. They got a bag of nuts but I was worried about the expensive GPS navigation unit that cost several hundred. They didn't find that but it was a tug-of-war to get them out. Then they wanted money. I thought it was time to leave. I got the doors locked to go around but they got in again. Basically, I was driving off with them hanging on the side.
Ronna was not happy when I told her. :(

Oh my goodness! How did they get in a locked car? Next time keep some chocolate flavored X-lax in your car....That will teach them!!
