The Great Shoe Rescue of 2012

It started out innocently enough...

The fabulous Sarah organized the outing and the lovelies Camille, Jennifer, Rachel and others brought food and treats!

Watched a beautiful couple take wedding pictures,

fed ducks cookies (don't worry, no chocolate)...

then, as we were preparing to end a thoroughly pleasant evening...

disaster struck! Stephanie's shoe departed her foot...into the Tidal Basin!!!

Gazing in horror...kind of

She had nearly resigned her unfortunate footwear to a watery grave when two resourceful young men came to her rescue. With a little quick thinking,

ingenuity,

and a few tense moments,

they saved the day!!

Nicely done everyone! I always knew we were a good team.
