We went up to good ole Salina for all of the festivities, on Friday night we headed over to Aurora to go to their games and to watch the fireworks, they put on a pretty good show for a small town! We were able to be around my cousins and aunts and uncles!
Saturday we went over to Salina and went to the games and the races at the middle school, and we ran into a lot of people that we knew and it was fun to see a lot of old family and friends. Then of course over to the City pool for the races, then on to the parade and the rodeo and fireworks in Salina.
On Sunday we decided to grab a bucket of the KFC and head on up Salina canyon, we went up to Brown's hole and had a little picnic. It really was pretty up there it was really green! I don't miss living in Salina, I really like living here in Vegas, but I really miss the mountains! To be able to be up there again and have so many memories come flooding back by seeing a road or a place on the mountain. I really miss that!
We decided that as long as we were up that far that we would just take the road all the way over to Fish Lake and come home that way, when we got up on top of the switchbacks, Lacy spotted three bull elk grazing out in the open, we got some pretty good pictures that I will have to post later!
We ended up in Cedar City to pick my truck up and I decided to stay there last night instead of coming home late, Lacy is staying in Cedar with Tori, she is going to a gym camp at SUU this week.
So I got up this morning and headed to St. George for some appointments then me and the three kids headed home, we got home and opened the garage door and was greeted by Oliva our dog, who was suppose to be in her kennel, so I already knew that she had to of left us some crappy presents in the house, because she wouldn't be able to get back outside, and of course she did! Then I noticed that someone had opened the freezer before we left and there was blood and all sorts of crap leaking out of the door on the freezer! It had been left open all weekend!
I knew Kade was the last one in there before we left so I went off on him and proceeded to clean the mess. Kade came out a few minutes later crying and brought me a picture he had drawn, it was a picture of me and him, this was him telling me he was sorry. What a crappy dad! I felt like one of the presents Oliva had left us! So we cleaned up the whole mess together, good thing that the garbage guys were late today, because we had a whole freezer full to throw out, there was nothing that we could save. Even the rhodes rolls had risen in one of the bags and was about ready to explode!
Again my kids showed me today that they are truly a lot better than I am! I am always learning from them. I Love them very much, and I know that they love me even when I am a jerk to them!

We feel your pain! That has happened to us twice!!! We now have the rule that you have to lock the freezer every time you open it.
we are in the process of either finding the key or some other way to lock it!
O come on, you do miss living in Salina! You miss the mountains and everything, you even said it ;) That story is so cute of Kade drawing you a picture! Your kids are so cute!! I wish I could see them more!
