He was putting Libby in her carseat...He dropped his keys while buckling her up. Somehow when the keys fell it hit the lock buttom. Nolen said he heard something click, but he didn't really think anything of it. So he closes the door.. goes around to the drivers side to get in the car...AND....it was locked!! I can't imagine what was going through his head. I have nightmares about his happening! So, he can't call anyone b/c his cell phone is locked in the car, can't get back into the house b/c the keys are locked in the car. WHAT do you do?? The neighbors house looked dark like they weren't at home, but he knocks anyway. They came to the door... PRAISE the Lord!! He was still in panic mode, so it was hard for him to get out what had happened. They were so nice, and they got a coat hanger and a flash light to see if that would do anything. ALSO, remember it's like 25 degrees outside...FREEZING!! The coat hanger didn't work, so they called the police.
Police got there... The instrument that they use to open doors wasn't working....So he calls a locksmith. They come 15 minutes later... unlocks the door! AHH! After about 35 minutes Libby was finally no longer locked in the car! While all of this was happening Libby was LAUGHING! I just couldn't believe it! Thank goodness she had a big warm jacket on to keep her warm. Nolen said she couldn't have been more perfect! She was just chillin' in the car having a good ole time! HA! So, back to the locksmith he unlocks the door, then leaves without Nolen paying him. I guess he felt sorry for him b/c his child was locked in the car. Nolen felt kind of bad that he didn't pay, but then he was like, "Hey I just saved like $50!" Great!
I feel like we should do something for that man. I mean without him Libby would still be stuck in the car. Right?
After all of that excitement they finally headed to the basketball game. They had a great time together, and Libby and Nolen got on the "dance cam" on the jumbo tron! So fun! I wish I was there to get a picture though!
I'm so thankful for our nice neighbors who let Nolen use there phone. Thank you so much!
Oh my Gosh...never a dull moment...so glad Libby was having a great time...I know Nolen wasn't..he probably aged a little bit. So glad they had a great and memorable date...what a lucky little girl!
