Yesterday we went to Rock Springs Park with Suzanne & Nathan. It was a nice day out and we wanted to take advantage of the nice weather before the rain moved in. Nathan brought a purple shovel to play with and we brought a box of cracker sticks for a snack.
After playing on the playset for a while we decided to walk along the path for a little bit and left the shovel and the closed box of crackers behind, thinking they'd be safe. We were the only ones at the park so we didn't really think it was a problem.
We were gone for maybe 10-15 minutes and when we got back to the playset area the shovel and box of crackers were GONE! There was NO ONE else at the park.
What in the world?!
I was a bit freaked because I had left my car unlocked with a lot of valuable stuff in it but it was all still there.
It made me wonder if some lonely neighbor around there (this park backs up to a neighborhood) kept watch and decided to "clean up" when we walked away.
Who knows.
Hope who ever took it enjoyed the snack and has fun with the shovel.

I am still bothered by this also. It is soo weird! Somebody must be pretty bad off to take a $1 shovel and some crackers. Maybe we should try another park for the next outing. :)
That is really kinda scary. I'm glad you weren't there alone. Who knows where "shovel stealers" hide! Maybe they were just hungry?!?
Don't be afraid!! That is a great neighborhood.I am sure that one of the very efficient Smyrna Parks and Rec staff probably picked it up when they stopped by to check on the park. You never know, it may be in lost and found!!!
Seriously though, it was probably some kid.Don't go looking for a new park to visit.
