Part 3 - Wes and Nikki Visit

One of the highlights of them coming was when we packed our families up and headed out to Warner Valley for some riding for everyone. Kurt and Farah Lefevre and Danny and Jeanne Harris came too. It was a perfect day! Nikki and I doing what we love, chatting, laughing, and taking a gazillion pictures! The boys doing what they love, riding. And the kids playing, digging, and getting dirty to their hearts content.

Because of all the pictures I would like to document, they are in no particular order!

Caleb experienced jumping a higher jump for the first time and he is now hooked.

 i {HEART} this lady!(Nikki's mom) 

She is the sweetest!

 Torsten and Lukas played for hours on the "go go" as Luke would say!

 The kids LOVE rides with dad!

 I love this picture of Maddi. haha....she was running to get out of the way of the men jumping!

 The pictures of Beau and Caleb riding together seriously make my heart melt!

 Look at Savanah's hair.....dang it...worst mom award....where is her helmet?

 This is Wes and Beau's club! (Inside joke)

 Caleb got so good at jumping after just a few tries!

 my fav...

 Hot stuff Nikki! (come back)

 I have to sacrifice my body for some good shots...tehe. Let's just say I could taste dirt for the rest of the day!

 Love Wes and Nikki's family so much! They are always so good to come and see us and we appreciate it so much!

Pioneer Park

After we hit the Meadow Memorial site we headed the back way into St. George. I had never been on the back road and WOW was it a beautiful drive.

We took Wes and his family, and Nikki's parents to one of or favorite parks, Pioneer Park.

It is not your typical park, with slides, swings, and playground equipment. It has hiking, rock formations, slot canyons, and is absolutely so much fun for the kids to play at!

 These kiddos were daring...they squeezed their bodies through a narrow slot canyon........

.......and made it to the top easily! Oh to have small hips again!

Oh well!

Mountain Meadow Memorial

Back in March we got to have Wes (Beau's Brother), Nikki, and their cut kiddies, here for a visit. We got to do so many fun things with them too.  

One of our adventures was heading out to the Meadow Massacre Memorial.

The drive is so beautiful. And the site itself is always humbling. 

It is sad what happened. But good to remember that we are all humans capable of weakness and sin.

Here are some pictures in random order from our trip......

 I have missed being in Idaho to make fun of all the 1J drivers, but Jeanne and Danny provided that again for us! HAHAHAHA...j/k
