MEMORIAL FUN

We took the kids Thursday night and headed for Parown, UT for Memorial Weekend. I could not believe how much fun the kids had. We went into Cedar Friday and then just hung out around the house waiting for everyone else to come. It was so nice to just enjoy the weather. Saturday we went on the usual ride up to Brian Head, about 19 miles. Well this time it wasn't so usual. It was a great ride up to the top, a little cold but not to bad. We went to the Pizza place in Brian Head and as we were getting ready to head back down the mountain it started to rain. Well that only lasted a few minutes and then it started to hail. It was the worst ride I have ever taken. Jordan, Rylan, Paislee and I were all on the same bike, so we were already uncomfortable, plus add in the hail, it was bad. Luckily Paislee fell asleep so I turned her around so our tummys were together and then zipped her into my jacket, so she didn't get cold. Rylan on the other hand had a great time. He was in front of Jordan and was loviong every minute of it. Jordan kept telling him to keep his head down so the hail would just hit his helmet but Rylan let Jordan know that he wanted to catch the hail on his tung. He is such a boy. Once we had about 8 miles left on this joyus ride it just rained, and with the rain came the mud. Here are a few pictures, but it doesn't do justice as to what we looked like.

Yes that is mud all the way up Vaunette's leg!

Sunday we took the kids up to Yankee Meadows. They had so much fun playing in the river.

Paislee was so excited as she walked a around and just collect little sticks, rocks and dandy lions she is growing up way to fast.

This little yellow 4-wheeler has been in my family for 25 years. My mom has pictures of each of us girls on this bike when we were Rylan's age. My father-in-law worked on it for a long time to get it running again. We couldn't get Rylan off of it this weekend.

Once Paislee saw brother having so much fun, she wanted to go too.

By the end of the weekend they would not get off of the 4-wheeler. Paislee just kept telling Rylan she wanted to go again.

It looks like you had a lot of fun. Good thing it didn't snow on you. P.S The girls LOVE 4 Wheelers too.

Holly we were up there too! Luckily we missed the crazy weather Saturday (after seeing your pics i'm kind of glad) but we spent Monday up there. The cabin is not too far from Yankee meadow! I wish we could have seen you guys. We just got Andrew a little 50 4wheeler and have had a few close calls (he likes to turn REALLYYYYY fast!) Next time you're up we have to meet! Looks like fun!
