Fun Trip

I planned a surprise trip for Wes, to the Big Horns for a couple of days. We took out a Polaris RZR for the day on Friday. We had a lot of fun. Did miss baby girl though.
During our venture on the RZR we took some really great trails and one that I would not ever recommend anyone going on. How we made it up and then back down I am not sure. Needless to say I got fired from ever getting to pick the trails we take again. I wanted to go up to this mine that was listed on the map. Well after several miles of horrible terrain, large rocks, narrow trail and slow going we got there and they had signs posted all over saying the area was closed and we couldn't even get back into where the mine was.
We ended up putting 70 miles on the RZR and saw a lot of really neat country. The owner of the resort said the average usage of them in one day is only 30 miles. I think we will probably make this an annual trip for a couple of years, but have a feeling that Wes may start liquidating the dirt bikes to come up with the funds to buy one of these news toys.

So, how did this log get here?

New Pets

Well Kassi's first fish died this past week. She was a little upset that there was not any fish in her tank to feed. When we went to Walmart that was want she wanted to look at so we decided to let her pick out a couple of new ones. While she likes her bows and dresses I think she is going to be a tom boy. Her choice of new tank pets were a frog, two fish and a crab! The guy helping us said that the frog and crab are escape artists and will get out of the tank. So far day two of them being home we are okay. I will admit though that all night long I dreamt about the crab getting out and biting me on the toe! We will see how long these four new pets last. I have a feeling as she gets older our list of pets is just going to keep growing.

Big Horns, Wes' Birthday

We spent the 7th, 8th and 9th on the Big Horns with part of Wes' family. We had a lot of fun and saw a lot wildlife. Wes bought Kassi her first fishing pole and we took her fishing for a little bit each day. She didn't catch anything, but that was okay. I think she had more fun feeding the ducks that were at the lake than fishing.
