Cops & Robbers

One day a couple of weeks ago, the kids decided to go out and play cops and robbers.

Mallori packed the loot, a suitcase fully of money (literally!) and Jace strapped on his policeman gear.

I of course, grabbed my camera and sat back to watch the show...

First, the robber would take the suitcase and run.

Somewhere along the way, the robber decided the loot wasn't worth it, it was to heavy. He (or she as the case may be) would then drop the suitcase full of money and keep running.

This confused the cops, who didn't know whether to leave the loot and run after the robber, or take the loot back to safety.

Usually, it resulted in the cop carrying the loot around.. sometimes running off with it herself!

Then the cop would close in on the criminal... just about got him!

Sometimes the robber was apprehended without a fight...
...and then brought to jail.
Other times, there was confrontation...
...and teasing... ...which resulted in a little police brutality.
At the end of the day though, the good guy always won!
And it was off to play again!!
