Red River Day 4

The biggest thickest pancake
I ever have seen for breakfast. 


playing ball in the river with the pups
 

We lost a ball to the other side of the river so
the boys crossed the log to get it.  Cody didn't like it. 


Marley wanted to go so bad!  These little dogs
stressed me it by that river!  It was flowing so fast.
 It wouldn't have taken anything for
 one to slide in and be swept away!  
 

Cody chose not to cross back over
the log - instead tried crossing the crazy river.  
Copper was very concerned.
 I think he was waiting to jump in and save him. 
The log would have been much easier. 


We went for a quick afternoon ride along
my favorite trail.  Ry wanted to come along again.  
Him and KC explored the mines.  
 


I did the driving.  
Going fast through the water is my most favorite!
 

It was freezing and we got soaked!
So worth it!!!
 


KC lost the Gocarts so he had to take the plunge!  
He was not taking it well!!
 

Freezing!

 

She's the most happy climbing mountains!


KC headed back home for 4 days
of work before he joins us again for
the second week.  I hate being here
without him.  Cody takes good care
of me though.  He's our grill expert. 
 

Lots of movies and board games until dad gets back. 


He sent me this pic in a text. 
I thought maybe he had a flat. 
Nope, he got out of the truck
and Heidi locked the doors!  
That girl is crazy.
 

He also found this little guy.  
We named him Romeo and he will be
the newest Cherne member.  
We will also be searching for his Juliet.  
 

Heidi was so curious. 
He also seems to like Doritos.

Red River Day 3

The whole reason Cody wanted the kayak
 for his birthday was to ride them down this river.  
Ok - lets do it!  

First of all, I have never seen the river flowing
this fast!  They gave it a shot but it didn't go
so well.  They made it half way through
town and called me to pick them up.  
They were all scratched up and had the most
 amazing stories of craziness they went
through in just the short ride they did.  
They are going to give it another try
in a different spot in a few days. 
 
 
 
 

I am so glad my boys have this dad to 
make all these special memories with. 
He always goes above and beyon
 for them and I hope they cherish it all. 
 

Cody found a skeleton and
decided to lug it around.  That kid!
 

a little bow shooting while the dogs run and explore


Go Carts - Whoever looses has to dunk
themselves in the freezing river.  
And I mean freezing!
 

Cody was the winner!

Red River day 2

 

More riding today.  
This time our little scamp came with us.
 He loves riding. 
 
 
 
 

Cody drove is back down the mountain. 


That afternoon I stayed behind with the pups
 while everyone else took the 
kayaks to Cabresto Lake. 
 
 


They ran into the horned sheep on
the way back into town. 


We grilled out the most yummy fajitas
then decided to go for a night ride.  
 

This kid decided to come along this time. 
 

Just a couple of ducks hanging out in a creek
in the middle of a trail late at night. 
 

We ended our night with some S'mores.

Red River Day 1

We made it!  Two weeks in our 
magical mountain town is finally here!


the boys got straight to soaking it all in
 

 

We met up with AJ and Chelsey and
planned on spending a weekend full
of riding.  And that's just what we did.
 
 
 
This trail is definitely my favorite this 
time.  I love riding through the creeks.  
This time it had lots!  There was even
a part where the trail became a steady 
mountain stream!  ðŸ’šðŸ’šðŸ’š
 

 

The next trail we tried was Goose Lake.

We took a break and roasted some
hot dogs before heading up.
 

still going strong


We heard there was still a lot of snow
towards the top and you had to turn around
about two miles from the lake. 
We still gave it a shot.
 

We were bound and determined to be the first
ones to reach the top this season.  
Good thing we had our winch!
We used it A LOT!  

 


We didn't make it to the top.
So close though.  Much farther than 
anyone else had been this season.  
 

Turning around was a challenge.
