4 Wheelin Adventures

Christmas Eve Day Bryan and I took our niece, nephew and Maryssa to ride the 4 wheelers at his parents ranch. The kids were so excited. They woke up really early ready to go. I had told Grandma, Bryan's mom, that we would probably bring Maryssa back in about an hour because she would not want to ride the whole day with us. Boy was I wrong! She loved it! We rode for 4 hours and she stayed with us the entire time! It wasn't until we were about 15 minutes from the house that she finally said she was done because her legs were hurting. I'm sure they were after 4 hours of sitting with her legs spread apart! It was such a fun day!


Ranch House





The Kids discovered an outhouse along the way and were fasinated.

We did some hiking along the way.

Bryan's dad drew us some directions. But after a while all the trees started to look the same. Left: Bryan tries to read the map. Below: He finally gave up on the map and just called his dad.
