Attack of the Axe-Man!

O.k....so we were supposed to have cub scouts at the park (next to our house) last night. We get there early and start setting things up, when a lady starts yelling at us, "hey you, cub scouts, you need to leave". I'm thinking, cub scouts aren't aloud at the park? Then she yells it again, "hey cub scouts you need to leave...it's not safe!" Then another group of teenagers starts yelling, "you need to get outta here, he's crazy". Shane and I both to turn to see a guy walking toward us carrying a huge axe (yes, the kind you would try to chop a tree down with). He IS crazy...and he's yelling all kinds of gang banger language...I had no idea what he was saying. He lifts the axe up above his head and starts swinging it and then yells, "I'm gonna get a gun, I'm gonna get a gun". By then we've started high tailing it to the other end of the park like everyone else! Then a police helicopter shows up. I think this scared him because then he went back to his car and drove off screeching down the street. The helicopter followed him and then police cars starting zooming past. It was quite the spectacle! All of this happening while our cub scouts are arriving. Things did calm down after a few minutes and we decided to go ahead with our den meeting. And by the way the Axe-Man was arrested (at the corner of Fox Ridge Dr. and Cherry Ave).

I think I'm ready to move back to Utah now!

Our cub scouts have been working on earning the U.S. Heritage Award. The last requirement was to do something to help your community, so we met at the park to do a little clean-up project by picking up litter around the park.
