It's Just What They Do!

Every May Doug takes the boys to Moab for a few days of mountain bikes and slick rocks. At first it was just Doug, Nick and Sam who went. Then Fred was old enough and he started going. The last few years Jake has joined in the fun. They always have a good time and everyone has always made it back in pretty good shape.

This is what the living room looks like for a day or two before they actually leave. All the stuff gets gathered and put here. Lovely, I know.

Yesterday after school and work the loading began and the fun and games went right with it...

Jake, Doug and Fred

Finally, after much too much goofing around, they were in the truck (almost) and off on their adventure.


The following are some pictures from last year's trip. Nick didn't go on this one and missed out on the waking-up-to-the-spider-in-the-tent fun...

What a funny bunch of kids!
