Robbed by a Gringo

The other day, Sydney and Sammy Ward accompanied Ronnie and I to the beach. Since it is jellyfish season, we didnt get into the ocean, but we did find our way down to the fresh water spring. We had a good time hiking back under the bridge, chasing the waves as they washed up on the shore, and taking pictures. At one point in the afternoon, Sydney noticed a couple of guys walking further down on the beach close to where our towels and shoes were sitting. She asked if our stuff was in any danger. Ronnie and I quickly said no and Ronnie even added that the two looked like gringos (Americans) so our stuff was in no danger. 45 minutes or so later, We walked back to the place we had left our stuff to find nothing. Everything was gone! We couldnt believe it! Ronnie ran about 1/2 mile down the beach to see if he could find anyone who knew who took our stuff. just about the time he got 1/4 mile away, Mr. Ward walked up behind me and the girls carrying all of our stuff. He and Mr. McKenney had seen it but hadnt seen us so they had "done us a favor" by picking it up for us. The exhausted Ronnie came back only to find that his run had been in vain. LOL poor Ronnie. :)
