Uninvited Guest!



Welcome to a Collins Family Cookout!

You never know who is going to show up for dinner . . . or possibly become dinner! We had a couple of families over for a wiener roast last Saturday – it got pretty funny when our neighbors, whose kids raise show calves for 4H, must have left a gate open. An 800 lb calf came trotting over to our place, and hung out by the fire with us. He was just like an 800 lb dog. Rachelle (farm girl) and our friend Brian (who ended up with cow slobber all over his hand . . . sweet!) walked him home, and then he ran by them and came straight back! I thought about putting him on a spit over the fire, but decided that wasn’t the right expression of “love your neighbor.” They finally realized the calf was out and came for it, but not before we snapped some pics.
