Cops and Robbers

My family likes to play games. When we play it is always women against the men. The men in our family think that they are unstop able and that they always win. I heard about a game called cops and robbers. This is where you have two groups. Cops and robbers. You pick a destination. I chose Heritage Park in Highland. That is about three miles from my house. The robbers have to get to the park before the cops can pick them up. Robbers are on foot. Cops are allowed two cars. Of course it had to be women against the men. I invited the Slater family to join in the fun. I had the women be the robbers. We wanted to win so bad so we could have bragging rights. We wanted to shut the men up. Robbers had a 15 minute head start. We had our game play. Needless to say all robbers made it to the big field behind Mountain Ridge. We had so much fun running and diving into bushes as cars came by. Laying in the field waiting to make a run to the park. We could see the cops driving around looking for us. There was even a time when Travis got out of his car. He was standing 20 feet from my mom and Jenny laying in the field. He could not see them. Finally Kelli, Melissa and myself made a run for it. Courtney, Teysia and Ali made a run for it going the opposite way as us. Kelli got tagged by Parker inches from the safe zone. I escaped Brads touch but got tagged my Mike as I was entering the safe zone. Melissa out ran Blain but got tagged by Brad from behind. Yeah Coutrney made it in, Teysia jumped the fence so she would not be tagged so she made it in. Ali got tagged as well. I was yelling for the rest of the robbers to run in before the other cops showed up. My mom made it in safe and so did Chelsea. Jenny was still out there. We were all yelling for her to get there. If she made it in we won if not the cops did. Jenny started running. She thought she saw the entrance to the field, instead she ran right in to the fence. My dad was inches from touching her. As she ran into the fence she bounce back and hit his face with her head. Two men down. Cops won. The men have been rubbing it inever since. The women want a rematch.!! Robbers: Kim, Courtney, Jenny, Melissa, Jean, Kelli, Teysia, Chelsea and Ali. We will take the men on any day of the week. Game on!!!!

Cops: Blain, Hunter, Brad, Richard, Rod, Travis, Parker, Mike and Ryker. Look at those smug faces,they are going down.

My sweet Dad! That's what Jenny's head did to his face. You should see it now. Completely black and blue. We thought he broke his nose. He didn't.
Two men down. Jenny had a cut head, hand and knee cut. We are grateful that they are both OK. Now that we know that GAME ON!!


We all had so much fun we wish Keri, Bart and Robyn, Ryan and Candace, Ryan and Julie, and Marv and Sue could have been there with us.
