Hardware Ranch

While Mom and Dad were up visiting us, we decided we better take them four wheeling again.  This time we decided to take them up near Hardware Ranch.  We had to do a trail that was not real bumpy (because I am pregnant).  Anyway, we were able to get machines for everyone. We even had Bryce's parents join us!

Here is picture of Paul and Steph in their razor.  This trail was perfect for machines of all sizes. They wished we could have gone a little faster, but with a group this big, that can be hard.  We had 3 Razors and seven four wheelers in our group!

Brittney and Tawni rode on the four wheeler together and had a great time bonding with each other.  It was a really pretty ride and weather was decent. We stopped in a little clearing to eat lunch and take a little break.  The bugs were pretty annoying so we didn't sit for too long.  That's when my machine decided it would not start up because it needed a new battery!

Mom and Dad had a good time on the Goddridges machine. Dad's only suggestion for next time is that we stop more often and for longer periods of time.  He would really have a good time looking at and collecting plants if him and mom would go on a ride by themselves!

Dad picked purple flowers for all of the girls and then we posed for this picture!  Jocelynn looks like a "little person" in this picture with her short legs. We were all so dirty, but it was such a fun time!

Thanks to Kyle, we made it back to our trailer.  He pulled Bryce, who was on my machine, all the way back to the trucks.  It was nice to have Kyle join us for the ride.  He is so busy with work, but I am glad he took the time to hang with his family!

Cooper and Jocelynn were able to bond on this ride.  Cooper told Jocelynn that he wants me to have a girl, but sometimes he wants a boy, so that the boy and be a pest to Clayton, just like Clayton is a pest to Cooper! Cooper liked riding with Jocelynn because then he got to sit in the front seat.

Enjoying the beautiful scenery up at Hardware Ranch.  It was warm this day and extremely dusty. In fact, the last half of the trail got really dusty.  The wind kicked up and it was ridiculous.  We could barely see who was in front of us.  I felt bad for all the family that didn't have goggles or helmets!

Once we got back in the car, we tried to wash off a little bit.  Clayton and Brittney grabbed drinks and we headed down to the little park in Hyrum to wash off in the river.

Dad and Jocelynn obviously did not have helmets to protect their faces from the dust.  In fact, if you look closely, you can see the mark from Jocelynn's seat belt on her shirt.  We were all looking forward to a nice cool shower to rinse off all this dirt!
