The Lost Treasure: Sylvia's Journey

Sylvia looked at the photo Caitlyn was holding and her eyes widened in surprise, she didn’t know it still existed. Breanna grabbed it from Caitlyn and looked at it saying, “Ooohh, Granny,” giggling. Sylvia in turn took it from Breanna as Kara reached for the photo.

“Where did you find this?” Sylvia asked Caitlyn. Cait grinned and pointed to the bed, shrugging. “It’s in that box under the bed, where all the others are.” Sylvia sighed, children could find hidden treasures in such secretive ways that adults lost through the years of being, well, adults. “Well, drag it out. Let’s see what else we’ve got in there.”

The children yelped with excitement, and through the clamour of dragging out the box of old photos the quad missed the slamming of the front door announcing more visitors then Jack walked in.

Frown on his face at seeing his girls on the floor. He looked so much like Elmer in his youth it was like he had stepped out of one of the photos. “What’s going on here?”

“Daddy!” The girls squealed.
