4-wheeling!

     Husband I and have been talking for awhile about using our 4-wheeler, it has been sitting there for a month or more. It looked so lonely haha. So, I found out that Saturday I was supposed to be off at 11:30. Preston said that he would load the 4-wheeler and all our gear so I could come home change and leave! That's exactly what we did!
     It was a very nice day out, we headed up to La Jara Creek to go ride. We didn't really know what to expect since him and I have never been up there to ride. It turned to be out awesome! There were mud puddles everywhere, and of course Preston could not resist them. I was O.K. with that because him and I could finally just let loose and relax. As we were riding we came up on these awesome rocks. They were white and just HUGE! We found out that those rocks are known as "White Castle." While we were up there we got to explore a few different paths and Preston also go to help herd cattle ( more like these people were herding cows and they were in our way.) We stopped took a few pictures and then headed back because there was a huge rain storm coming our way. We got back to the pick-up and then it started raining hard! Preston got the 4-wheeler loaded and we decided to go ride at the terrace reservoir.
     I love riding at terrace because it's so beautiful up there! The water is so pretty, the sand is a cool caramel color and the mountains are breathtaking! We explored a lot of different trails and saw a lot of beautiful things. Finally at about six p.m. we decided to call it a day.

So happy that things are green again!

    On a side note we are super excited for our trip to California with the family next week for my little sisters wedding at the L.A. temple! This will be my first time to California and husbands first time there not in a truck and his first time in a real airplane! (by real I mean not flight for life leer jet or a little air plane.) It is going to be a fun time especially because we will be with family and it will be a nice break from the real world!
