Grandma, Grandpa, Trina & Wes came to stay at our house over Labor Day Weekend. We were all excited to see Grandma and Grandpa especially since my mom was having surgery to remove the cancer from her kidney a few days after this family get together. (We are all relieved that the surgery went well and hopefully the cancer is gone. We won't know for a few months, but we are all praying!)
Grandpa hauled his 4-wheeler all the here because Samuel wanted him to bring it. Samuel was so excited when he saw them pull into the driveway he went running outside saying, "Oh, I just knew you'd bring the 4-wheeler!". The only bad thing is we don't have helmets for the kids so we borrowed one from some friends for Samuel, who loved wearing it and then poor Bella had to wear this huge old helmet we had when we were teenagers. It didn't fit very well so we improvised and stuck a diaper on her head to take up some of the space. We were all laughing at the sight of her. Poor girl! But Grandpa wasn't driving very fast so once we got out away from the main road we let her take it off.
While the grandparents, Samuel and Bella were on the 4-wheeler the rest of us rode along behind them in the jeep. Riding along made me miss those Labor Day Weekends, before we had kids, when we would take the jeep to Ouray and Telluride Colorado and travel all the beautiful trails. Maybe we'll get back there someday!
The views of the red mountains were really beautiful along this dirt trail.
Every since we got the lift on the jeep riding in the back is very uncomfortable because you get bounced all around when going over rough terrain. It was funny to watch Isaac and Kambree in their carseats because everytime we went over a bump their little heads were getting bounced from side to side. Isaac must have thought this was funny because he would shake his own head more vigorously back and forth. Near the end of the trail poor Trina decided it was more comfortable to stand up then to get bounced between the 2 carseats. When we got back to the main rode Samuel asked if he could ride in the jeep standing up like Trina.
Later that evening we went to Snow Canyon, the kids played and we enjoyed delicious tin foil dinners.
