The Maiden Voyage

It had been almost two months since we bought our four-wheelers and we still hadn't taken them out for a ride yet. We decided that needed to change so we last Wednesday we took them out for their maiden voyage. Russell called me at work that morning and told me to hurry home because he had packed a picnic and we were going riding. When I got home from work, we loaded the four-wheeler and were off. We went to the trails behind Green Valley. I did not realize how many trails were out there. We had a lot of fun.

The weather was great! The sun was shining and it was much warmer than it has been. It was a great day for a ride.
Here we are enjoying our picnic and the sunshine.

Russell taught Emily how to throw rocks. She loved it.

"Hi Mama!"

Emily loved riding the four-wheeler until she fell asleep. While she was sleeping we took turns driving and we had a great time. I was kind of leery about buying the four-wheelers but after riding them I am so glad we got them. This summer will be so much fun because we will go riding a lot and we will finally be able to go with our families on their rides.

Another good thing is that we are getting a great tax refund this year so we can pay off the 4-wheeler loan and be DEBT FREE!!! (well except for the deferred school loans) YEAH! We even have some of our refund left over. Any suggestions on what we should do with it?
