A visit from Mom and Dad

Mom and Dad have been visiting for a few days, so I thought I would let you see what we've been doing.




Sturday afternoon, Grandpa, Mike, Jason and Grandpa Fisher went on a 4-wheeler ride. Oh, and Montana went, too! She loved it! That night, TJ went on a treasure hunt. This is a fun tradition for all of the grandkids. Grandpa Merrell took pictures of various landmarks around the house and we mix up the order of the pictures, making it a "new " treasure hunt each time. The first time Kylie and TJ did this treasure hunt together, Kylie left TJ in the dust. I don't think that's going to happen again, because TJ is getting lots of practice!
Jason is opening the bag of chocolate skittles TJ found at the end of the treasure hunt. Sharing skittles with Great Grandpa Park.

Climbing that hill really did Sasha in!
Monday, we took a drive up to the cabin. We are getting ready to sell it ):






Monday night, we talked Grandma into going on a 4-wheeler ride to see the petroglyphs. For those of you who have been to these particular ones, you can appreciate what Grandma went through to get there, and I'll give details for the rest of you...a rather bumpy ride on a trail full of twists, turns and rocky hills, as well as a scary ride through a creek bed that left Grandma and Grandpa literally flying through the air on the way back up the bank. (Mickala was totally loving this! )


At the end of the trail, we had to hike the rest of the way to the petroglyphs. Grandma was a trooper, even though she was nursing a very sore foot.


Here we are at the petrophyphs!


Annie and Russ have posted a similar picture of themselves in between this ancient "couple", so we wanted to be sure and get this picture with Mom and Dad as well.


Three beautiful people!
If you look closely, you can see a lizzard on this rock. If you look real close, you can see two!

The view of the flag is spectacular from this area.

Mike threatened to delete this picture, so I had to hurry and post it!


Heading back to the 4-wheelers.
Mom had so much fun, it looks like she wants to stay a little longer! Sasha did her hair for her. Isn't it pretty in this picture!

The end of a beautiful day!
