Riley's Graduation!

Riley's Graduation is here!  I seriously couldn't believe I was seeing him in a cap and gown I remember him as a little boy still.  

 




After the graduation we celebrated by going to Maddox, good choice Riley!!

These little boys kept each other company by taking non-stop pictures of each other. I had tons of pictures of cute Krew on my phone.



Way to go Riley and Thanks for letting us spend the day with you!

The Big Boy Toys!


The razor was pretty dirty after our Moab trip and the second Bryson saw Daddy washing the razor he wanted to wash his jeep!
 






He must have had an agenda cause the second he had a clean jeep he headed over to Cooper's house!
Cooper got out his truck, their girls sisters loaded up then they drove off!



Bryson must have gotten a little too used to the Razor, because he was not impressed with his jeep when it couldn't even take the curb.

Moab

"When was the last time you did something for the first time?"
 I think of this quote very often since I read it on the Internet and our trip to Moab fits the bill perfectly!
Kasey and Nicole invited us with her family and friends to go to Moab! I thought it would be fun but I didn't expect it to be TONS
 of fun!

Brady and I have taken the razor up the mountains but it was nothing compared to the experience of Moab!  There were 6 families and 7 razor/rhino's ready for adventure!
The first night when we all arrived we took a short ride on "Fins n' Things" right during sunset.

It was a fun ride to start with, but little did I know that it was nothing compared to what our next day's adventures would lead us! 
We decided to ride "Behind the rocks" the next morning and the word that comes to mind about this ride is "windy".  The wind was blowing so much as we were unloading the razors from the trailers.  No one in the group had driven this trail previously and I was surprised when we came upon this rock wall just minutes into the ride.
I started to wonder what we have gotten ourselves into. That was when I heard one of the ladies ask if this was the only way up.  That was exactly what I needed to hear, I was worried that I'd hear "this is nothing".
All the women and children unloaded from the razors while the guys carefully drove their vehicles up. 
It was a relief to hear that things shouldn't get worse than that followed by the comment "we've just been baptized"!

Sounds good to me!!  Boy did I LOVE this ride! 
The trail started with high banks of dirt that were fun to zoom fast through, Bryson loved it!



The power of the razors were unreal, climbs that looked hard were easy for the machines to climb and the sight of them climbing or going down rocks was awesome!


If there was a partly difficult climb everyone would get out and guide each other.
We'd wait until all the machines were up to the elevation they needed to be then we took off again!


Having some lunch!
Kendyl was loving her time with her cousins!  


I learned that most all the trails have an easier or harder routes through the trail and everyone just did as they wished to get where we needed to go!
But there were times when you'd notice a front end of a grill appear out of no where.  It was pretty entertaining to watch!




What goes up must come down, tackling the rock wall again.
Kasey's turn!
Brady's turn!

A nice shower for everyone was just what we needed!

There were rocks and climbers everywhere even right outside our hotel window!

Brady and I once again had the boys sleep in one bed and the girls in the other.
Which left me sleeping with the little girl who takes up the whole bed and sleeps in every direction!
But she is a cutie!
Another day another ride, the next ride was "Hell's revenge"!
(Kasey and his fam)

This trail was beyond beautiful!






We'd occasionally stop to watch some of the guys attempt a couple of climbs.
Kendyl and Tio Kasey!

Brady & Bryson!

I was having a blast taking pictures from all directions!  I quickly learned that when I looked forward and saw a rock taller than the razor right in front of us it meant we were about to climb it!

Drew, Carey & family!
Kasey, Nicole & family
We also stopped to watch the Jeeps climb.

Watching all their struggles made me want to never go riding in a jeep, the razors did these much easier and faster!

It was such a fun trip!  The kiddos did amazingly well on the rides, they napped on the razor, they never once complained about sitting in their seats and they were just as entertained as we were!  I found myself looking forward to each ride and I cannot wait to go back!  Thanks Kasey & Nicole for the invite!
