All Work and No Play

A word to the wise ain't necessary - it's the stupid ones that need the advice.

And, we certainly have decided not to work all the time.  Guess what we did over Memorial Day weekend.  We had another family outing and another chance to get a family photo of all ten of us together.

We started out in clean clothes and on clean machines

All four ATVs were loaded up on the trailer and two trucks.  We were on our way.

As clean as the machines started out, there was no way they were going to stay that way.

We did discover riding in the mud was one heck of a lot of fun

Bradley Trails is a very popular place to ride ATVs.  There are miles and miles of trails.

Kids really don’t ever grow up.  It was mud puddle after mud puddle.

The mud just got deeper.

The machines got muddier.

Eventually the fun ended and the cleaning had to begin.  It was very difficult getting all that mud off the clothes and the machines …. even with a good pressure washer.

We had a great time and we scored another great family get together.  Riding the ATVs in Arizona is definitely so much different than it is riding in the Pacific NW.

  8. A family that muds together uses suds together. ;c)

    Now why were you so fussy over the color of your ATV after using it in all that mud? You can't even tell what color it is!

    Great family pix, it's a keeper!
