The Collins Family

So some of you might have mice or spiders around your house, we defiantly have those around our! But yesterday I was down in the basement and found this little guy hopping around.
Luke and Savannah of course wanted to keep him so we let them build him a house in a cooler in the garage. But today we told them they had to set him free or else he would croak! Ha Ha! So with sad hearts they walked him to the field behind our house and set him free.



Our city has this annual party called the Highland Fling, so we decided to take the kids. It started nice and early with a parade. This is a slice of Luke's face with Smokey the Bear.

I asked the kids to turn around and smile and as you can tell from this picture Savannah and Luke were not very happy that I made them do this.

After the parade we headed to the park for fun and games. They had all these different carnival type games for the kids to play and after each one they earned a ticket. When your done you take all your tickets to the prize booth that is just like Chucky-cheese's prizes (pretty much all junk) and the kids got to get their own prizes.

I loved this game, you have to throw this wet sponge and try to hit the kids who faces that are sticking out of the holes. Luke got up and there were these two sweet little girls that he had to aim for, and Luke got them both smack in the face. I told him this would be the only time he was allowed to hit a girl!

After the games we got a call from my dad and brothers who were stopping in from Cedar City and we joined them for lunch. I got my family hooked on this family owned restaurant out here named JCW's. It's got amazing burgers, sandwiches and shakes. It was fun to see them and have some time to catch up with them.
