Father's Day Weekend Adventure!




"Happy Father's Day Dad!  We love you!"  

Last weekend was Father's Day Weekend, and Jason's activity of choice was to go to the local off-road community's Meet & Greet weekend.  On Saturday, there was an obstacle course for people to drive through which included a large hill to climb, logs to climb over, large tires, rocks, a small mud hole, a large mud hole, and then another rather challenging hill to climb back up.  We did about half of the obstacles.  The obstacle course was for more of the bigger trucks.  There were winch demonstrations, activities for the kids to do, food, raffles and prizes, and entertainment.  
The tires!

The large mud/water pit!



Going through the obstacle course.

On Sunday, we started the morning off with a homemade pancake, egg, and sausage breakfast and then followed with an all day trail ride on Baldi Trail.  I have to say, this weekend was probably by far one of my most favorite off-roading experiences that I have ever had!  The kids had a blast getting all dirty!  And we just simply had a great time making our way through all of the obstacles and making it to the top of the mountain.  Jason's masterful driving was successful!  We never got stuck, nor did we ever get in a situation where we needed assistance to get out!  And the view from the top is just absolutely amazing!  All in all, it was a GREAT Father's Day Weekend filled with good wholesome family fun!

Getting ready to hit the trail!
The girls were ready to go with Skittles in hand!
The girls were excited to go.  Jennah wanted to go through all of the mud, and Kylee just kept saying, "oh - this is so not good".  Great memories!
We made it past the first obstacle - a large water pit!

The next major obstacle on the trail was crossing a creek.  One of the vehicles broke down here, so I got a chance to take some pictures of the girls!




I took a lot here - but this is my favorite! Gotta love them!
After the creek, it was all up hill (more like mountain) from there!  Lots of climbing, which always freaks me out - but I survived and the view up top is work a bit of anxiety!  Breathtaking and priceless!

This climb was a bit challenging.  That truck high centered
on a rock, so getting around was a bit tough - but Jason
and the Rover made it through!
More climbing!


The first pit stop with a spectacular view!

And the top of the mountain!!!  Gorgeous!



There was snow at the top, so we had fun playing it in for a few minutes!



And then, I was able to capture some close up moments with the girls.

Pickin' flowers!
Jennah, my beautiful flower!

Happy Father's Day Jason!




All in all - it was a very successful and fun family adventure - and we are looking forward to doing many more of these adventures.
