Memorial Day

This year we spent Memorial Day weekend in St. George enjoying the warmth and sunshine!  

We recently purchased a second four wheeler because, with six people, the one four wheeler was getting pretty crowded.  Clay's co-worker was selling his four wheelers and gave us a really good deal.  We drove down to St. George during Memorial weekend to pick up the new four wheeler and take it out on its maiden voyage.  We decided to take it out near Gunlock Reservoir.

We had a great time riding and enjoying the sites.  I had never been on these trails before.  We were glad Clay and Clint could show us some new places.  As we were looking out over this lookout, Charlotte decided she wanted to drive and pushed on the gas.  The four wheeler lurched forward and I knew it was going over the edge.  Luckily, the movement scared Charlotte and she let go and I hurried and grabbed the brakes.  Russell rushed over and turned the bike off and put on the Emergency Brake.  It scared me so bad!  Thankfully we were all safe.  Then we drove out to the petrogyphs.

These petroglyphs were pretty cool.  You had to hike up and around this rock face to see them inside a cave.  The bigger kids went and saw the cool art while Logan, Charlotte, and I stayed on the rock face and saw a the few that were still there.  Sadly, a lot of the petroglyphs have been rubbed away from people stepping on them but the ones inside the cave were much better.

Charlotte loved seeing all of the cacti in bloom.  They were very pretty.  

The next day we took another four-wheeling excursion up to General Steam.

This time Tami, Terral, and Lacie went with us as well.  Once again it was a great ride.  We did go later in the day though and it had been raining so it was cooler.  That was okay though because that meant less dust.  We took a picnic dinner and had a great time with family.

Colby loved hopping over the stream at General Steam.  He is our explorer and he loves to find new trails and areas to explore. 

Monday we headed back home with our new four wheeler.  We had a great weekend and we were glad we were able to get out and explore new places on our bikes.
