Summer Vacation (part 8...last one!)

On our last Saturday of vacation we decided to take the four wheelers up into the mountains for a fun day of riding.   I wish the weather would have cooperated a little better, but we stuck it out and had a fun day.
Myles loved throwing rocks into the stream.




I was trying to get him to smile for a picture


Jake and Myles exploring.

The kids had just as much fun in the creek and they did on the four wheelers.






This little boy LOVED riding the four wheelers!

Lisa was even brave enough to come out with Elise (she was 3 days old).  They mostly stayed in the cars, but we did stage a family picture in the four wheeler.  

He always wanted to be the driver!

I love that Ben and Lisa's razor has a custom made front seat with a small harness in between the two front adult seats that Myles fit in perfectly!



We were really, really wet and muddy by the end of the day but it was super fun!


After getting home and getting cleaned up, we decided to splurge a little and take the kids on helicopter rider.  There was a company doing them at the county fair which was just behind my parents house.  We had seen the helicopter flying over all week and especially Ashton wanted to ride. It was dark by the time that we got over there and got a ride so I don't have too many pictures.  The guys that were flying the helicopter were super nice and flew longer than they originally planned to accommodate us!  Here are pictures of Lexie and I at the fuel station at airport number 2.  We got to go with them to get more fuel so that we could have our rides.  



Our whole vacation was fun.  We did and saw so many things.  The time spent with family was amazing and it made me homesick all over again.  I miss our families so much.  I wish we lived closer, but I guess it has taught to be grateful for the times we do get to be together.  The kids had so much fun that they don't want to go back to school, they just want to continue their summer of fun.
