Family Vacation!

We had a fantastic time on vacation.  When we got to Corydon the boys hit the ground running.  It did not take long to start the dirt bikes up and get busy.  Unfortunately we brought my Dad's Rhino with us for Nattalie to use, but it had electrical problems and we didn't even get to use it for a little bit.  Nattalie did do some dirt biking though.

We had a great time with April and Dylan (thank you so much for joining us!) and my mom and dad (thanks for coming!) 

So lets talk about our terrific vacation!  We got to Chariton right about lunch time on Thursday.  The house is GREAT!  John and I had been there once before, but it was 2 years earlier so we forgot about some of the nice things that they had.  We had beds, couches, pool table, ping pong, fuse ball, and course a ton of land for the dirt biking.  And for me (and April and Grammie) there was an awesome kitchen.  They even have two ovens....and we used both for most of the dinners.  Never realized how nice it would be to have two ovens.  The boys spent as much time out on the trails as they could.  Then in the evenings we enjoyed an awesome campfire....Dylan you can build a "mean" campfire.  On Friday we did have a flat tire so that had to get fixed before they could get back to riding, but nothing could keep them down we got that fixed and they were back at it!

Nattalie actually got to get in some riding on Daniel's dirt bike.  She enjoyed it!  And after much begging I actually rode the bike (Daniel's, the little one).  John has mentioned to Nattalie that he will have his eyes out for another bike so that she can have one.

On Sunday Johnathan practiced on a bigger bike and Daniel rode Johnathan's bike.  Daniel's chain came off and it was too loose to get to stay on....so we will have to get that fixed.  Johnathan enjoyed riding the WR250, but wow that looks way too big for him.  Daniel enjoyed riding the 125 and he did a good job!

We are pretty much injury free.  Daniel does have a hurt ankle, but we are praying that he will be on the mend quickly!

I have attached random pictures.....what a GREAT family vacation!  John's phone didn't ring once!! :)

Just a little mud out there!

This is Nattalie....all geared up and ready to go!

There was two times that Nattalie crashed pretty good.  One she said that she was trying to turn and couldn't so she hit the tree and slid under it.  The next time was the same thing again....she couldn't turn and she ran right into the fence!  Both times she hopped up and put her thumbs up and said that she was just fine!
