Green River/10 Mile Wash

Last Thursday night we headed down to 10 Mile Wash, which is a little past Green River, Ut. Brett and I had never heard of it before, but we had a BLAST! (Thanks again, Dustin and Whitney, for inviting us to go with you!) Friday and Saturday were beautiful... warm, but jackets were still needed. Sunday was another story... WINDY! It was bad wind though, because of all the sand everywhere. I think I still have sand to suck out of the carpet in the trailer!!! Even though, it was a great weekend with friends and the boys rode ALL DAY.

Bridger went from being wobbly to jumping and learning, by himself, how to shift his bike. We were all standing around watching the kids and Brett asked me if I heard Bridger just shift his bike... We hadn't wanted him to know how. The next pass Bridger made in front of us we heard him sing, "Ha Ha, I know how to shift!" All we could say was S*#!, under our breath. He is so crazy, speed is one thing that he (or so we thought) doesn't need. He wasn't able to keep up with the bigger boys, so he was really happy once he learned to shift. It ended up being fine, but of course, as his mom, I don't think I'll ever stop worrying.

Brock did amazing too. It was the first time Brett and I have seen him actually be comfortable on his bike and competitive. A kid from another camp came over to see if Brock wanted to race and he actually said yes! He was on a 65 and Brock is on a 110, so the other boy won, but I have to say that Brock did beat him off the line! Brock is already too big for his 110, and after seeing him on that 65, he could really use a bigger bike. So, of course, the day we got home Brett was online and found a KILLER DEAL on an 80. Yes, we got it for him, but he doesn't know yet, so shhh! :)

Anyways, it was a great weekend and we all got a little sun on our faces and hands (except for Brock and Bridger, who had their helmets on all day.) We even had to brake out the sunscreen! It was so nice to get away and we cannot wait to do it again! Here are some pics of the fun we had:

Katelyn and Andi trying to kill ants...

I love this pic... Brock and his dad...










Some of the boys riding. It was impossible to get a pic with all of them in it!











Ian on one of the bikes...












Andi and Katelyn playing on the trailer (they were actually stuck, so we let them sit for a min. Nice place for them to play and stay in one place!)













Jared's, Dustin's and Brandon's cars... NICE!














Brett and Jared getting ready to take off...














We had so much fun, but I never got to go for a ride in the cars... I really hurt my neck Saturday morning (I have no clue what I did, but I wasn't able to turn my head most of the day and didn't dare go for a ride.) Anyways, hopefully next time!
The drive home was eventful. A storm hit Sunday morning and so we were white knuckles a few times because of the wind and ice. The wind was crazy, but my dad's Dodge did AWESOME pulling our camping trailer and bike trailer. After that, I think we're finally ready to sell the Expedition and get a truck. So, hopefully we'll have a diesel out front soon! My fingers are crossed! :)
