Redneck Riding!

Don has been really sick and needed some R & R. We decided that a trip to Ibapah was just what we needed. So we loaded up the bikes and off we went. Our good friends Bob & Crystal Mitchell we able to come with us which was great because we haven't seen then for quite some time. We pulled in at 10:30 p.m., tried putting what I thought was the key into the door and no go! I couldn't believe it. Luckily Don was able to get a window to open & we pushed Darek thru.

The weather was BEAUTIFUL! Not too hot, not too cold. The kids did lots of riding behind the house with Don sitting in a chair and enjoying the moment.

On Saturday, the boys talked me into driving the truck the dump so they could "Treasure Hunt." Well they found a matress and decided it would be great to tie a rope to it and drag it behind the 4-wheeler. Much to my protesting the mattress was tied down to the bed of the truck. Back to the house we went. Immediately they rigged up the mattress and from the pictures you can see the result. Talk about Redneck riding. Leave it to the boys to be inventive. However, it did provide an hour of entertainment!

While we were there, Rachel got her first taste of shooting. Dad took her out and let her shoot Parker's gun first which just has a site on it. She couldn't quite get the hang of it. So he gave her Darek's gun with the laser site on it and she nailed 20 out of 25 shots! Not to bad for a 7 year old.

All in all it was a great restful weekend spent with great friends in the greatest place on earth!
