So, I had the biggest scare of my life on Saturday. My friend and I took our sons to Winterfest here in Pearland on saturday. We had a great time and the last thing the boys wanted to do was this blow up thing that was an obstacle course. I helped Brady take off his shoes and sent him inside. The walls of it were too high to see inside of it from the outside unless you pushed down on the sides. Once I sent him in I walked a little ways up to meet him and about 6-10 seconds after I put him in I looked insde the obstacle course and he was not there. I looked everywhere and then I went in myself and walked, very ungracefully around that stupid blow up thing yelling his name...nothing! Now I was really panicked, but still pretty calm. I told the guy working the thing what he was wearing and he said he would check where he was and for me to go around to the front...nothing! I then started looking around the field away from the obstacle course...I spotted a kid about Brady's size wearing the same jacket about 20-30 yards away. I started running toward them and then my phone rang. The woman with him was calling the number that was tagged on him (which we did when we entered the Winterfest...THANK GOD!) Brady was just fine. I guess he had barely got in the course and then turned around and got out (this was the part I didn't see) and then he wandered off looking for me. SO SCARY! To think of all that could have happened makes me sick.
Let this be a warning parents...it doesn't take long for them to wander away. Now I hurt even more for those parents who really do lose their kids and I only lost mine for about 2 -3 minutes
