4-wheeling at the cabin

Every year, we go to my parent's cabin in the mountains of Utah at Lake Panguitch. It is a great vacation because the weather is cool with highs near the mid 70's and the mountains are just beautiful...especially coming from Houston where there are NO mountains. My parents have built a nice cabin with 4 bedrooms and several living areas so it is easy to stay there and not be in each other's hair all of the time. They also have all the fun "toys"- 4-wheelers, pontoon boat, and in the winter snowmobiles.
One of our favorite things to do is go on 4-wheeler rides. The cabin is in a subdivision that borders national forest that is full of trails. There are a variety of trails to ride on the ATVs and we often see deer and elk. A couple of years ago, Grandpa got a "razor" so that he could take the younger kids with him and that works well with Ellie.
Uncle Clell came to, and loved to take the boys on trips.

Daddy with Michael
The first ride we went on, I had Michael with me half of the time and Adam with me half of the time. When Michael rides with you, he talks along the way and once in a while might say, "whoa mom that was scary..." (a few minutes after you do something tricky). When Adam rides with you you have a constant monologue of "Slow down, whoa, aren't we going too fast, sloooow....etc." I took Ellie on the Razor once and I'm not exactly sure all that she said but it would be safe to call her jabberjaws....she was talking non-stop the whole time...just loving the personalized attention.
