Our Fun 4-wheeling Trip Sunday!

We have been trying to coordinate a 4-wheeling trip with Seth and the boys for a few weeks now so we decided to plan it for this weekend. Since Seth and the boys really needed a break from all the drama going on in their lives right now, they decided to come down here and tour our part of the state :) It was a lot of fun!


This is the rubber boa we found just as we were starting off. YUCK!!!


The first stop we made was on top of a mountain that separates Soda and Grace




Eric wouldn't let me take a picture of him. He kept turning his head so I had to catch him off guard!


These two never shut up! :) Just kidding but they can carry on a pretty lengthy conversation!


The Grace side of the mountain with all the farm land


The Soda side of the mountain. That's the Alexander Reservoir


This is the best picture I could get. In all the pictures I tried to take of all of them, at least one of them were looking a different way. This is the only picture I could get of two of them looking at me and smiling. Order is Rohbi, Masyn, and Bradyn


We stopped for lunch and found some sea shells so the kids set out to see who could find the most shells. And by kids I mean Eric too :)


Still looking....


Masyn decided he wanted to get down and play with "BroBro" and "Wobie"


What's a 4-wheeling trip without a little showing off?! Eric and Bradyn took off on a trail just to see where it went so Seth, Masyn, Rohbi and I stayed behind and found some straw bails to play on


Rohbi had to feel included too :)


After 4-wheeling all day, Seth still found the energy to wrestle around with all of the kids. I don't know where he found it because I was beat!


I'm worn out just looking at the pictures!








It was definately a fun weekend and I think the boys were able to take their minds off all the crap back home for a little bit! Hopefully they'll be able to make another trip down here but I think next time we will try to head up there!

Looks like it was fun. I would have bailed after seeing the snake! Even your picture made my skin crawl. Thanks. :)

Oh man that looked like a ton of fun! I'm glad that you guys all got together to do it, and that you were safe! Oh by the way, that snake freaked me out!
