Caught....well almost

My neighbor Amy's home backs up to the side of my house.  The side where the little intruders like to run.  She has seen them before!

Today I got a phone call.

Side note: we have costco phones which die about 3 years (maybe 5 I can't remember) after you by them.  We are at that point and occasionally we can answer a call and actually get to talk for a couple of minutes, at least long enough to let you know we'll call you back on the cell.

So I answered the phone, but it died.

But Amy left a message:

"Brooke, did you see them, they just ran through."

Since I was in the kitchen I could hear the message and looked out back to see the open gate.

I quickly grabbed Sam, Hadley and my camera and jumped in the car.

I had no intentions of running them over, I just wanted to see where they hid out after leaving my place.  So we took off down the main road and low and behold there are three kids up ahead, running fast and looking suspicious.

I caught up to where they were and pulled out my camera.  They didn't notice me as they hid behind the house with one of them peeking out looking toward the school.

I could have gotten a perfect picture, what with my 18x zoom.  But I put my eye up to the eye piece to make sure it was nice and close and couldn't see a thing...you see the it was on view finder, you know that really easy to use device that doesn't require you to put your camera up to your eye (I have a point and shoot).  By the time I realized this they had seen me and started to run again.

They jumped over at least two more yards where I saw them peaking through some fence and realized I could get no further with my catching abilities at this point and headed home.

But not before yelling "If I catch you going through my yard one more time you are in big trouble."

I bet they were scared.
