Our Weekend Part 1

This weekend, we made the trek up to the AZ/UT border to drop my uncle's car off for him so he'll have it when he finishes his bike race.  Unfortunately, I came down with the flu Friday night, so many of our fun plans got nixed.  However, we still managed to have a little fun, and the boys did fantastic on this trip!

When we made it to the campground and end of the trailhead where Marshal will be riding in, we got out and did a bit of exploring.  There are some really nice trails up there, and the boys loved going on an adventure.
 "Shockingly" enough, Kehlton got himself into trouble. Again.  After being told to get back on the trail, he decided to ignore us and take off running down the hill.  He quickly found himself going faster than he could handle.  He ended up rolling head over heels down the hill; landed on his face and then bounced another foot or two before stopping.
 And once again, he was lucky on several accounts.  First of all, that he was far enough from the sheer drop-off several feet to his right to really get hurt.  Secondly that there were no cactus in his path (although he was mere inches from landing in a massive sage brush) and thirdly that there were no scorpions or snakes in his path.  This kid seriously has a death wish.  I'm amazed that we haven't had him in the ER yet.

Covered in red mud, nose full of dirt and quite a few scrapes, cuts, bumps and bruises from head to toe.  I've tried several times getting a photo of his face once we got him all cleaned up, but he refuses.  It was eaten up pretty good.  Never a dull moment with this kid!! :)

We spent Saturday night and Sunday morning in Sedona.  Those pictures will come later.  Right now I need to drag myself back into bed and get some more sleep...
