There is one phone call you never want to get in your life, and that is the phone call that wakes you up early in the morning with a police officer on the other end of the line. We received that phone call a few weeks ago, when you hear the officer say this is Officer Carter and we have your son her for a moment your heart just drops. You think to yourself-Is he okay? What kind of trouble is he in? In this case we were informed that the offense was that of breaking curfew. That's a relief. There was no drugs or alcohol, no vandalizing or mischief. Plain and Simple Tanner and a few friends after having all of their parents think they were each sleeping over at one of the friends house, decided to leave and go drive around for awhile and then possibly go camping instead. A couple of problems once it got past midnight they realized that wasn't the best plan because now they didn't have anywhere to go to sleep, but they couldn't really camp cause it was pouring down rain. So they found a nice park and slept in the car, which is where the officer found them in the early hours of the morning. Now Landon and I weren't necessarily upset about the ticket, which is going to amount to about $25, in fact we were kind of mad the officer didn't give them all a warning cause they weren't really causing any trouble. However, we were mad about the lie. Tanner got grounded for several weeks, and probably won't be sleeping over anywhere for a good long while.
