First ride in months!



Kelly finally has permission from the doctor to ride the four wheelers. So yesterday we went for a quick ride in the deserts of five mile. We went geo-caching along the way. We found ten different caches. Although the scenarie was bland some of the views were great expecially from the ones we had to hike to. The weather was perfect for October! It was a fun ride for the afternoon







We were hiking up the hill to find a chache and the boys found this little ledge to sit on and take a break. (The hill was pretty steep). They asked Kelly to take a picture of them, so he did. Makes a good picture spot.


We parked at the bottom of this hill and hiked to the top! Only to find that there was a road we could have driven right to this cache! Oh well, I guess the exercise is good right.




Here we are in all our gear out on the very flat see nothing or anyone area of five mile! The blue skies were incredible.

St. George

Last Weekend we took a quick trip to St. George. I had SEP conferences last week and Kelly was still out of town working with his Dad. My mom was the saving grace and picked the boys up from school on Wednesday and kept them over night. Then Thursday they got up and went to St. George. Kelly got home Thursday evening. Friday I took work off (a great break after SEP's) , we stopped at the doctor for Kelly's six week check up on his wrist. He got approval to go back to normal activity (including riding four wheelers, which he can't wait to do, maybe tomorrow!). Then it was off to St. George. We met up with my family for lunch at an old fashioned type soda shop were we had soups and bread sticks. Then we took the kids checked into our hotel and went swimming. That night we went to Touchan to see the musical "Big River" it was well done and I think the kids enjoyed what they saw before they fell asleep. Kelly liked it, it was just colorful enough for him. While we were at the play the weather took a turn for the cold. Friday had been a beautiful day but the wind started that night and brought in cold storm. Saturday we spent the morning shopping for warmer clothes (at least warmer clothes for me). Then we took the boys to Fiesta Fun. We enjoyed a few trips around the go-cart track

and some mini- golf. The wind helped or hurt a few swings on the golf course but we still had fun!

That night we went to dinner with everyone at Ruby River and then Mom, Dad, Chelsea, Cameron, and I went to see "Les Miserable" Despite the fact that it was raining until about two minutes before the play started and it was a chilly 42 degree's the play was great! We drank lot's of hot chocolate and piled under blankets. Thanks Kelly who went and bought me thermals and remembered to bring me a hat, gloves, and hand warmers. I would have been miserable with out them. He knows how to take care of me! The weekend was a fun little get away!
