Salt Flat Fun!

Every year our family gets together for our biannual Salt Flats Motorbike Ride in May and September. So this last Saturday we enjoyed a nice sunny day. I do have to admit that we were a little worried about it being to muddy but almost nothing can keep us away from some motorbiking fun. After getting to the entrance of the Salt Flats we thought that we would try to make it out to our usual parking place, well to keep a long story short we did not make it we got STUCK! This story does end well though, we unloaded all the bikes and after cleaning out the trailer tires twice we got back to the dry place and got ready for a day of fun.

Addie and Quinn with Tyson. Addie was so excited to see Quinn and it was great to see how big they were both growing.

This is how we do lunch at the Salt Flats, we do not bring tables we just put a blanket in the back of the trailer and do a buffet of sandwiches, chips, salads, and lots of goodies.

Becca, Tyson and Quinn going on a four-wheeler ride. Somehow we did not get a picture of Addie taking a ride also, so just picture Addie in Quinn's place, Aaron in Tyson's place, and Me in Becca's place and you will get the picture of what our little family would look like.

Emilee is great on the motorbike. I have to admit that it has taken her a little bit of time to get up the nerve to jump; but did so well that she even got up the nerve to jump over a ravine.

Each year we have to one up the last year of jumping. During previous years we have had just one person jumping, then two people jumping at the same time, then three people jumping, so this year Tyson and Brandon did the jump over the ravine. I guess we will have to see what we come up with in September.

Bryce and Tyler even got into the fun of jumping double over the ravine.

Here is Nate on the little 70 jumping over the ravine.

Matthew getting some awesome air.

Tyson and Brandon are such great brothers they share there bikes with us younger sibling, challenging us to get better and better on bikes that have more power. I think pretty soon we might all need 450s.

Emilee getting some awesome air.

Nate getting some air.

I do have to take credit for this picture, I think that I am getting pretty good at getting the timing just right to get an awesome picture. Here is Brandon on his KTM.

Alyssa having some fun on the jump.

Yes that is ME getting some air. It's taken me a year to get the nerve back into my system for the big jumps, but this last trip did the trick. I was so excited that I probably did this jump 20 times. If you look at Brandon's picture above you will see about how high I am jumping.

Kent on his favorite bike. Just kidding, Nate's bike was acting up so Kent rode it back to the trailer.

One of Addie's favorite things to do is push her stroller around. Thank you Mom for bring it up she is loving it.

Addie still pushing her stroller. You can also see how much fun Matthew had in the mud with the four-wheeler, I think for the next 6 months there will be mud falling off it even after cleaning it with the pressure sprayer. Oh the joys of having a blast.

After a day full of fun we take the bikes to the wash and get them sprayed off. Addie and Quinn are enjoying the rocks by the road. You also have to love my socks. They are my special motorbiking socks that I wear each year, they go up to my knees so I don't get any blisters with my high boots and they are so bright that I never loose them. Therefore I love wearing my awesome socks.
