was today believe it or not! We were on our way to Tennessee (Jody's grandfather is very sick so we decided to go back a few days earlier)...I had taken all three girls inside to go potty and Jody stayed with Jack and our two dogs in the car. When we came out Jody hopped out of the car to help me get the girls in (it was 20 degrees and very windy), when he did WHAM the door shut. Well, when you start our car (which he had just done), it locks all the doors! We were all locked out, except Jack and our dogs Dally & Jake! We immediately went inside and asked the gas station attendant to call the police! Both our wallets and my cell phone were in the locked car! Jody was left standing in the cold watching our smaller (yet much older) dog, Dally, roam about the car snooping in bags and trying to eat our left over BoJangles lunch before deciding Jody's pillow was a nice place to take a nap! Jody had to watch as she stared blankly at him through the glass as he yelled at her to "get off! He was so mad! Three police officers came about 10 minutes later and about 10 minutes later got the doors open! Jack by that time was awake and screaming. All in all we spent a total of 1 hour at this gas station! If you ever need to stop while on Hwy 40, exit 100, the gas station on the right (don't know the name) in Morganton, NC...the ladies there are great and the police are very helpful too!!!

Oh no!!!! I am so sorry that this happened today, especially as you were trying to get to TN to see your family!!!! But praise the Lord that you were able to get back into the car quickly and were in a nice place to wait. Praying for you guys! Keep us updated.
Just for clarification, it was the wind that blew the door shut...lol. I was trying to help get the girls in quick because it was freezing cold! That's was I get!
LOL!! So sorry this happened to you. But I couldn't help but laugh out loud as I pictured this all in my head. Jody screaming at Dally and what the girls were probably saying or doing as Jack was locked in the car with the dogs. So glad you got help quickly. Praying for your family as you visit with your grandfather!!
OH my! What an adventure, not the kind I would like to have, but what an adventure. I would have been frazzled. Keep safe!
Wow! What an event! Blame it on the wind, but I can't believe Jack is locking his parents out of the car already! I'm sure Jack would have let you in if you had done a dance! :)
So glad you were in a place with helpful people. Know that we're praying for you guys as you're away!
Love ya!
