Scoots, Circus, Touring and Mink - what more could you want

SCOOTS
Here's cute McCoy scooting around our living room:


CIRCUS

Friday night Kayden and I went to the circus and Boston and Chad (with McCoy) went bowling. Kayden won tickets to the circus from a coloring contest and was so excited, so we decided it was the perfect opportunity to take the two kids on their own dates and we all had a blast. We had really great seats and just had a fun time!

MINK
Saturday was free state park day here in Utah. We decided to venture to the closest state park to us, Antelope Island. As we packed up the car for our adventure, Chad went to grab the baby backpack out of the garage while I buckle the kids in the car. Suddenly, I hear "Beth, you should come see this." I went back to see what looked like a black ferret in our garage hiding in the corner. We discussed calling animal control, but would have to wait for them to come and we were on our way out, so we propped the garage door open with a ball and hoped that he would find a new home while we were out. When we were returned, there was no sign of the creature and we talked to the boys (and ourselves) that we should always keep the door closed so we don't have the problem again.

Then in Sunday's paper, there was an article about how some activists secretly released 6,000 mink from a Kaysville farm and it had a picture of them and the description was basically a black ferret. We were thankful we've seen only one!! Here's the link to the story: http://www.sltrib.com/business/ci_10581217

TOURING
So we did make it to Antelope Island State Park and saw buffalo, antelope, coyote, lizards and birds. We hiked up a hill for a nice view and the boys did not complain or asked to be carried!!

Our family
Boston followed his dad and ventured up some rocks
