Labor Day Fun

This was the one moment I was glad I wasn't in the car, but outside taking pictures.


After a long rainy Sunday evening and Monday morning, we took the new truck to play in the mud. It did great...Dusty's however, did not. Things we learned, just because you can make it through the mud hole does not mean your made it out clear. The picture below is Dustin pulling Dusty out of the mud hole. As Dusty went up hill coming out of the mud hole, his engine shut off and they couldn't get it to kick over again and start.
So they got under it, played with the wires, tried to jump it, tried to pull start it and nothing worked. Eventually, we towed it back to the entrance and went to play in the gravel pit and wait for the trailer.
Kyle wants me to tell you, the reader, that he made it up the hill everybody has struggled with in the past with no problems. Right up the rock hill he went, he was so fast that I didn't have time to get a picture of the event. Thanks to the new mud terrain tires and the manual transmission.

It was a beautiful day for four wheeling, but a little bit chilly. These are some pictures of Libbi Marie. I loved the sunflowers out there and was glad she was being slightly cooperative to take pictures. She is so darn cute, I wish she wasn't such a stinker about having her picture taken.
Just so you all know, the gravel pit has officially been crossed off the places of optional four wheeling places. Every time we go out there, something major breaks. Usually on our truck. We have broken multiple hubs (whatever those are), we had the transmission in our white explorer go out while we were there, ripped a hole in the muffler when we were there this spring, and Josh rolled his jeep that was less than 24 hours old, thankfully he walked away laughing and fine. So this was it, the last time we are going out there to ruin anybodies vehicle. Currently, Travis, Dusty and Kyle are working on putting one of the spare motor's in Dusty's truck.
Oh, Mom, I just want you to know that I have worn both of my new shirts and gotten multiple compliments on them. Thanks for making me branch out, it's not always as bad as I think it is. Off to bed we go....3 year olds are grouchy when they are tired!
