Moab!

I've said it before; I'll say it again. I. Love. Moab. Probably one of my favorite places to be. Unfortunately, this wasn't one of my favorite trips. Due to the wind. Boy, it was windy. I've never been there when it was windy! So Jen, have you been there when it is cold? Yes. Rainy? Yes. But not windy.

The sad part was I coninced all my PG friends that it is amazing. We actually caught some great days! Right before they all headed down! Then they arrived. And so did the wind. They ended up staying only one night. The wind storm broke three families tents, including ours.

But BEFORE that wretched wind storm, we talked, we we rode our machines and we played in the dirt. Can't beat that! Nor can you beat the windstorm, so we called it good and headed home one day early!

We managed to ride some great trails for a couple of days. We had a blast. We always do!

This beauty is still running after 28 YEARS! Papa's motto is spot on: "Take good care of your appliances and they will take good care of you!" I try to remind my kids that it is an old machine. Luckily it has a good engine because they run that thing ragged!
Cousin Eric brought his brand new dirt bike. Thanks Eric. Now Jeff wants one! I'd love to buy him one too, but it just isn't in the budget.

Papa is always so awesome to lend us his machines. Without him, we would be walking...
