Sand Dunes

Last Saturday was a very busy and eventful day. We woke up and packed lunches, etc. to spend the day at the Sand Dunes. We have never been able to make it out their before so we were excited to finally take time to go. As we were getting ready I got a text from my best friend Lillian that they were prepping her and she was going to be having Alivia shortly. Yay! We headed out the door and made our way out to the Sand dunes. It was a such a nice day. We unloaded the 4-wheelers and started a fire and then the boys went off to ride for a bit. The kids immediately got out their sand toys and started playing in the sand. They had a blast. After lunch I headed out for a while with Tommy and then he took the kids out as well. Caleb was quite adventurous and wanted to ride up the highest dunes. He had so much fun riding the "motorhomers". Not sure why he calls the 4-wheelers, motorhomers??? We have tried to correct him but he is insistent on his way. I think it's cute. It was a lot of fun hanging out, talking, riding, roasting marshmallow's and starbursts. I think it is safe to say that we will be getting a dirt bike or 4-wheeler in the near future. Tommy used to ride when he was younger and he really misses it. We all had so much fun! That place is crazy and their are some crazy riders but what a blast! We headed out a little sooner then the rest of the family so we could get the kids naps and head to see Mike, Lillian and baby Alivia. However, just as we got on the freeway in Santaquin we came upon an accident involving a motorcycle. We were one of the first on the scene and Tommy immediately got out of the car and ran out to help. The freeway was closed for a little over an hour and life flight was called in. Tommy was up at the scene helping the whole time. Everyone was ok, thankfully. Just several broken bones and a vertebrae. So leaving early didn't really give us extra time but we were glad to be their to help. We rushed home and showered and headed straight to the hospital for a short visit before heading out to Shanna's to watch the UFC fights. Needless to say it was a very long day. We were all beat. We finished off the weekend with dinner at Shanna's and more visiting with Uncle Kyle and Aunt JJ before they headed home. Caleb and Bailey loved seeing them again and getting to spend time with them. Caleb has really gotten into the Army thing lately and was so excited to see all of Uncle Kyle's uniform and to ask him a "million" questions. He also got some official Army patches from Kyle that he was so excited about! We love you Kyle and our proud of your decision to serve our country.
