R & R

Recently Landon and I were lucky enough to get to have a full week off work. We decided it was time to take some vacation time since the last time we did was in March. We are workaholics so it felt so good to know that we were going to be away from our stores for 7 straight days! With our time off we wanted to have tons of fun, get stuff done around the house and sleep in! We did a lot of all three! Our first day off was last Tuesday. We took that day to sleep in, play some gUiTaR hErO, and take a four wheeler ride up Farmington Canyon. The weather wasn't fantastic that day so we didn't go too far up, but it was still nice. We brought some sandwiches and just enjoyed time in the beautiful outdoors. Wednesday we got the cars fixed and dropped off Landon's dirt bike to get fixed. Then we headed on a hike up Adam's Canyon to the falls. We love going up there. We took Mia up there with us and she absolutely loved it! We had a little treat when we got up there and played in the water for a little bit to get cooled off. After our big hike we were exhausted so we headed back home with a rented movie and spent the rest of the night on the couch cuddling. :-) Thursday we got tons of stuff done around the house then went to pick up Landon's dirt bike so we could head to the Sand Dunes. We had to stop at my mom's to pick up their wheeler so they could have one up at Yuba when we would meet them their on Friday. We didn't end up getting to the Dunes until about 1:30 am. So, we set up our tent on the trailer and thought we'd be laying our heads down to count some sheep. Oh boy were we wrong! As many of you who have been to the Dunes know there are always crazy people out there. Well, we were lucky enough to have a group of idiotic, inconsiderate punks camping by us. They were all drinking and rode their wheelers until about 4:30 am! The sound bounces off sand mountain and has no where to go, but right to where you are so needless to say we considered slitting their tires. After riding until 4:30 am we thought they would be tired and just hit the sack. Of course not! They were all so drunk that they ended up getting into a huge fight. We could pretty much hear word for word what the two friends were saying to each other. At about 5:30am the fighting finally stopped when one of the friends left the Dunes. We fell asleep until about 7:00am then everyone else at the Dunes was up riding before the sun rose and it got to hot. So with an hour and a half of sleep we slid out of bed and got the bikes ready for riding. We only rode for about 2 hrs. I let Landon go off and ride a little without me so he could actually have some fun without having to wait behind for me. Not too long after, we packed up our things to head to Yuba to meet up with my family. I love the Dunes, but will NEVER EVER stay out there again! Next post will continue with the fun at Yuba! :-)
