La Cucaracha is no more

There was a balcony on the top floor of the condo where we would sit every night after Bradyn went to bed. One night we were all sitting around talking when Mike pointed out that a huge cockroach had just run across the floor and into a vent. Both Heidi and I put our feet up and I won't lie, I was a little freaked out. I hate creepy crawly things!! So the next night we were sitting up there again and we saw it come out of the vent. Tom decided he would kill it for us. So he chased this cockroach out of all it's hiding spots for about 15 minutes. I started to feel bad for the little critter! He would go under a fan and Tom would pound on the top until he came out, then the cockroach would run under another one and Tom would repeat it. We decided it was time to go inside and get some rest, but Tom wasn't going to give up on this cockroach killing mission. He stayed outside while I watched through the door, pounded on the AC units and followed him around. I opened the door to tell him to come inside and it came running across the bottom of the door. (Good thing there was a ledge there so it couldn't get in!) So Tom ran over yelling "Shut the door!" took his shoe and smashed the cockroach!
