4 wheels

After class on Friday,

J and I headed up the canyon with his grandparents 

to spend a few hours four-wheeling in the mountains.

We probably had a picnic lunch of good old-fashioned lunchables and soda pop.

J mostly drove while I just enjoyed the ride

 soaking up the sunshine

and taking in the beautiful Utah views.

We even made our way to a little lake hidden somewhere up in the forest.

The trees were beginning to bud and birds were chirping everywhere.

Hopefully a sure sign that spring has finally decided to make a permanent apperance.

I did drive for a bit!

And besides hitting an unsuspecting snake that so stupidly crossed the trail directly in front of a roaring ATV,

I think I did well for (practically) being a first timer!

We were exhausted and caked with dirt head-to-toe by the end of the day

(three shampooings later and I STILL may not have gotten all the dirt out of my hair)

but had a most incredible afternoon.

I think I certainly foresee another trip or two like this occurring before summer is over!

1. Windmills

2. Taking a rest

3. Happiness

4. Sooo dirty

5. I probably had to rock a hot bun

6. Overlook

Happy Four-Wheeling!  Oh Happy Life!
