Stowaway

About a week or two ago, Kevin and I decided to go out on a "date". We planned to go out to eat at Olive Garden. We took Derek's new jeep because the top was down and it was a nice evening. We got halfway down the street when all of a sudden Riley casually pops up from behind the jeep and says, "Hi!" It scared us to death! After the initial shock, we laughed hysterically. Apparently, he somehow wedged himself between the back seat and the back door of the jeep (where the spare tire usually is on the back of jeeps). He settled himself comfortably into the back seat- thoroughly proud of himself. He said later that he would have stayed hidden longer, but he was getting really uncomfortable. He was back there forever waiting for us to leave. We thought it was pretty funny so we kept him with us and took him to dinner. I think he enjoyed going out to eat with just us--no siblings around. Riley's antics always take us by surprise. One thing's for sure---there wasn't a trip to "inspiration point" that night! Ha!
