4-Wheelin' With My Dad!

The Diner, in Randolph, where we stopped for lunch!Old Ephraim's grave

A chipmunk that I made friends with!

A couple of baby dear

As a surprise for my birthday, my Dad took me on a really long 4-wheeler trip! What a BLAST!!!! We met up with my Dad's friends at 8am, at Hardware Ranch. From there we left on our 4-wheelers! It was so beautiful and so amazing!!!! I love being in the moutains, where I can think clearly, and enjoy nature!!! It's just awesome! First, we made our way to Randolph. We made a few stops along the way to take a break, get a snack, and rest our rears. We got to see overlooks that were GORGEOUS!!! Once we got to Randolph we stopped at a Diner called, "Gator's Drive-In" (don't ask me why it's called that). I had the Gator burger and it was YUMMY!!!! After that we got on the road again. We made a few more stops here and there but, our next big stop was Old Ephraim's grave! It was awesome and that bear had to be HUGE!!!! After that we headed back!!!! After all was said and done, we traveled 89 miles!!! That's a lot of miles! We were gone from 8am-4pm! Even though I'm exhausted, sunburned, and sore....it was WELL WORTH IT!!! Thanks Dad!!!

Fun at the Park!

On our last trip to see my family, we made a few trips to some great parks in the area! Our favorite parks were one park located near Willow Park Zoo and another park located in River Heights, called Ryan's Place Park (which is dedicated to a little boy who died in a drowning accident). Those parks are GREAT for young children and Connor and Rylie had A BLAST!!!! It was so nice to sit and let them play and not worry that they would fall and get hurt. We can't wait until we get to visit those parks again. Connor calls Ryan's Place Park, "The Castle Park", because there's a castle looking structure for him to climb and play on.
