This past weekend we went to the mountains to see the fall leaves and to ride 4 wheelers. We invited some friends along that have 2 kids similar in age to our girls. We ended up having a blast. I can't imagine going with just the 4 of us now. It was so much better to have another family going that have kids the same age. They kept each other busy and I don't think anyone got bored. We stayed at a cabin that we used to stay at all the time while we were dating. We hadn't been there since I was pregnant with Abigail. I think Brandon said we rode almost 20 miles on Saturday and maybe 15 on Sunday. We rode out in a caravan of 5 4-wheelers with Emily riding all by herself. We were a bit worried about her and the steep inclines, but she did pretty good by herself. One time she couldn't make it up the mountain and got scared while waiting for Brandon to come rescue her by foot. She was able to hold the brake and wait for Brandon to move the 4-wheeler out of the holes it had dug itself into. We think the 4-wheeler just didn't have enough power or weight to make it up the incline. She recovered quickly from her crying/scared episode and did rather well the rest of the  |
