A few minutes later, we made our first stop at the fancy WalMart, which really just means it's super clean, huge, and no one shops there. Lucy needed things WalMart sells. She was on a mission, and I was just taking it all in.
And so in one of those "I thought he was with you" situations, Jake got lost. Although it was only for a couple of minutes, it was shear terror. Then came the overhead page that Jake was at the ladies fitting room. We were met by a security guard and taken right to him. The Wal-Mart team was impressive. The team from Camp Lucy was not.
I asked Jake later what happened. He said "I told those nice ladies that I needed to find my Lucy and Uncle Joshie."
I bought him the water gun he wanted.
And last night when we were all together, Jake said "Remember that time I got lost at Wal-Mart?"
