July 24 Trail Ride to Lake Town

This morning Pam, Michelle and I loaded up and went for a 4 wheeler ride. Baili wanted to sleep in so she stayed home. We started at Hardware Ranch and went to Lake Town. It was fun coming down into Round Valley and seeing Bear Lake. We had lunch at the store (See pictures). We ventured onto a few more trails and found that we could spend a couple of days exploring the back country.

Dan's Rock Crawler

Here are a couple pictures of Dan's rock crawler. He has made quite a bit of progress since these pictures.

Here are some pictures of the 4th of July in Wendover.

Golfing @ Logan River

Mom and I golfed Friday and Saturday evening at Logan River. It's the first time I got to try my new driver. I'm going to borrow an old Jackie Gleason saying so forgive me; "Oh, how sweet it is!" Long and straight. It's a King Cobra Speed M Series 5000. I even had Pam try it and "Wow" what a difference. Now she wants one. Pam scored 110 and I scored a 90. I could not buy a put, but we still had a great time.

Yesterday, I helped Dan swap out the rear axle of his Toyota. He even let me weld (He is really brave). ;-) It was a long day but we finished up. He is down in Price seeing Brooke and running a trail called Pinnacle II. I'm not sure what the trail is rated but the group he is going with has some pretty big egos. In the past, those drivers with egos generally end up with the most body damage or a broken rig that requires it to be towed (winched) out.

Love,

Wow Emily! I hope they did crash that night...looks like fun. All the pictures and posts lately look like everyone's been having a good summer so far while Rick and I are being bums ( mostly cause the Army won't let us do anything else. * thupt*)

Not much to report from Colorado really. It's rather hot here and housing has yet to install the air conditioning units they promised us so we plan on burning the motors out on all of our fans and having to buy several new fans over the summer and doing the same to those. Joy.

I've been pursuing riding a little more seriously these days since the stables is on my way home. I spent about two hours going over a new course that had been set up for a Hunter Jumper/ Stadium Jumping show last week. It was a lot of fun and needless to say a big workout. Maybe next post I'll have pictures if I can procure a camera ....

As for Rick...he's happily playing on his computer and leveling his World of Warcraft character as always. Pretty easy to please that one...I asked if he had anything to say and he said " Nope. We're still alive. Tell everyone we love them."

That's all for now. Hope everyone is well.

p.s.- Dad, as for going to Fillmore this fall..my mom's family ranch is down there so I've nearly worn that area out. It can be really beautiful though and The Ashton's would surely welcome us. they have lots of room and a couple extra houses at the moment open for use. Maybe even let us herd some Buffalo? If we want to do anything special I'm sure my Uncle Neil could help us out. He's really involved in all the communities there. I can't say for sure for Rick and I but we will look into it.

New Toy!

We decided to spend our 'passport' money for the kids on something lots better! The kids (and all the neighbor kids) have been out there for at least 6 hours! I'm hoping that they all crash tonight!
