Do You Need Something Rescued?

Well, if you do then let Bailey know. She has become quite experienced lately with a balloon and turtle rescue, and she even saved Emmy's whole life the other day and might be able to provide you with some assistance. Here's the scoop.

So, it all started with some balloon decorations that we got for Maggie Mezger (Bailey always calls her Maggie Mezger not just Maggie) that didn't quite stay where I put them. Let's just say that had there not been some trees, Kyle and Ali may have not even know we decorated their house for Ms. Maggie's arrival home. Bailey was SO distraught about this and the fact that Owen, Becca, and Maggie NEEDED them that we ended up saving the balloons a day or so later. Now if you follow my sister-in-law's blog then you have already seen these pictures, but here they are for those of you who haven't seen these. Sadly, the balloons were in pretty sad shape once we got there, but that's not what mattered.

Next, on our way home from an anniversary date Luke and I saw a turtle in the road that we decided to save. I took a picture of it to show to Bailey the next morning, but it was late and dark and isn't great. So of course, the next morning Bailey wanted to go on a walk to look for that turtle, which Luke and I had put in a pond right behind our house. Well, we didn't see that particular turtle, we did see another turtle that had gotten stuck trying to climb out of the pond on a steep incline and got stuck between tree stumps. Anyways, Bailey helped me save that turtle, which scurried off so quickly that I couldn't get a picture.

The last rescue was actually saving Emmy's whole life from a mean boy with mean hands who had Emmy in a head lock at the top of the playscape at Chick-fil-A. Bailey has no idea why this boy would want to do this to her sweet friend Emmy, but Bailey had to save Emmy's whole life by pushing the boy off of Emmy releasing the head lock and therefore saving Emmy. The mean boy did not like that his plan was thwarted and thanked Bailey with a punch to the face. I am glad that she and I had a 30 minutes car ride home so that I could get the full story that was told with great emotion, facial expression, and concern for Emmy. The cutest part of the story to me was that once home she went and got a toy all on her own that she wanted me to put in timeout since she had pushed the boy, but she stuck to her guns that she HAD to do it and WOULD do it again if a friend was in danger. What a girl!
