The story of the missing camera

Most of you know that I lost our camera. I've been really upset with myself over it. And I couldn't, for the life of me, remember anything about the last time I had seen it. Only vague details of packing it in the diaper bag to take it somewhere with the boys. (which turned out to be wrong anyways) Monday night I finally did a thorough search of the van to make sure it wasn't hiding somewhere. (I'd been avoiding this because I really didn't think it was there, and it made it seem more real that it was gone. I know, it's not logical. I know.) I told myself I would do this same kind of search of the Subaru in the next day or so to verify it wasn't in there either. BUT! Yesterday, before I got a chance to do more than plan my search, Alex called to tell me he had found the camera!!! I was so super excited. He'd randomly opened the center console in the Subaru and there it was! (We obviously don't use the center console often.) Neither of us could even guess how it got there. (I'm in the Subaru these days about as often as we use the center console.) There was not even a little whisper of a vague memory of putting it in there. Then Alex got home and I turned the camera on to make sure it still worked. These were the only three pictures on the camera-




Can you guess where we had the camera last?.............. The Seahawks game!! I had taken it but then I didn't want to take it into the stadium, so, I left it in the car. Out of the eyesight of any potential thieves. And the camera owners. Apparently the phrase "out of sight, out of mind" is really, really true. At least in my case.
