Dirt

We spend a lot of our weekends literally in the dirt. I will be honest, I didn't picture this as a past time I would end up doing every couple of weekends like we do (sometimes more, sometimes less)...I think I have said this before but I continue to be amazed that I have grown partial to the dirt. I grew up with an outdoors family (snowboarding/skiing, water skiing/wake boarding, hiking, camping, and other sports) so I guess I am not too surprised although I spend a definite quantity of time in our trailer!


When I met Dan he fit right in with our family as he was (and is) definitely an outdoors kind of guy. He rode a dirt bike so eventually I too rode a dirt bike. I will say that I have learned a lot in my 6 years of riding...now that I am a mom it is all about the leisure riding!

Here are some pictures from our past weekend. Although wind and rain were a factor, we still had a wonderful time with friends and being together!

Special time with our friends Josiah and Stephanie playing with us in our trailerThe O'Connell and the Mackey kids making cookies in our trailer. I had the bright idea of inviting all the kids into our trailer to make cookies since in was windy but Dan brought me back to reality :-) Thank you Stephanie for the cookies!
And I of course couldn't leave out two other very special kids...Sawyer and Levi! You both are such blessings to your families and to us as well!

How fun! I was thinking about you guys when it was raining all day Friday...hoping it wasn't going to spoil your weekend. How fun is dirt when it's wet....mmmm...mud! And yet, no muddy kid photos, I'm impressed!

We had a great time hanging out with you guys. The pics turned out cute. First trip -- wind, second trip -- rain, what could possibly happen on a third trip?
