Camping to Cherry Creek






For Fall Break we went camping out by Cherry Creek. We left Thurs. morning and came home Sun. morning. We didn't want to come home!! We went with a big group of friends. A couple that I run on the ambulance with, Brett and Andrea and their family, came out with us and we had so much fun with them. Eric and JoDee Nelson, Steve and Leah Dozier, Keiven and Kori Verwer and Chris and Kristen all came. There was tons of riding, sand, more riding, sand, and more sand! Ty and Wyatt climbed trees for most of the time. Brett tried to teach me to shoot. Key word there... tried. I couldn't hit a moving target very well. They still tease me about it. We were out on a family ride on Fri. and found a girl on the trail that had broken her arm. We kept joking saying that we were on vacation and didn't want a "call", but when it came down to it it was kinda cool to help her out. Chris wrecked out on a ride with Mick and hurt his ankle pretty good. Mick buried the kids in the sand. Ty and Bet kept up the tradition of fighting over who got to ride the 4 wheeler. Mick and I even got to go out on a few rides. Fun to have Leah there to ride with. I'm sad that the camping season is over. I'm already excited for spring!!

Capitol Reef





Mick and I went down to Capitol Reef for our 13th anniversary. Mick's parents, Justin and Lara, and Pete and Kenna had gone down there the day before and so we hiked with them for a bit on Saturday. It was pretty much a rainy day, but we were able to get a few hikes in here or there. Mick and I didn't care that it was raining. Just hanging out with each other without the kids in tow was good enough for us! Sunday was nice and sunny so we got a really fun hike in by Chimney Rock. Chris and Kristen came down and stayed with the kids while we were gone. What a great weekend!
